Over the past couple of weeks, I have been slowly putting together a computer that I am connecting to my TV. This PC will act as my main media center once it is done and completely replace my DirecTV Tivo with free over the air HDTV (in 1080i none the less!) along with other technical stuff. It is cool. I have spent a lot of time working on it and learning what in the world I am doing, but it is all coming along.
I could go on and on about all of the technical details, but suffice it to say, I ended up spending about 10 hours sitting on the floor in front of it, adjusting things that you are not supposed to touch and hoping that I didn't break anything. In the end though, it all worked. :) Yay!!
I still have about $200 worth of parts to order and install, but that is not that big of a deal. Of course that is what makes it show tv programs… Ok, right now it plays movies, music and video games. Oh yeah, you can read comic books and browse the web too. It is sweet.
The next time you are over at mi casa, I will have to let you check it out.
Unless I don't really like you or you don't like dogs, then you will likely never come over.
This past weekend, I got to hang out with my college roommate Tom (the bald guy from an earlier post). It was really good to see him. We didn't really do anything but hang out and it was great.
He was telling me that his yard is being taken over by the crazy ants!! If you have not heard of these, you should check it out. They could be a problem here soon.
Basically there are these weird, cracked out ants that have spread all over south Houston. They are not hard to kill, but they are smart and will do things like stack the dead bodies of their fallen friends so that they can climb over the poison. They eat the vegetation in your yard and worse than that, they are attracted to electricity. They have been known to knock the power out in neighborhoods and to get into your house and destroy every appliance, computer and electronic device that is powered on!
So, who knows what is in the south side of Houston? (besides Tom)
NASA
It is a pretty big deal because these crazy ants could destroy mission control and bazillions of dollars worth of awesome stuff.
Anyway, I was telling Tom that he needs to sell his house and move (to San Antonio!) before no one will buy it because of this infestation.
It's CRAZY!
On another note, I had a lot of people (a surprising amount really) talk to me about my blog. I just wanted to take a minute to say thanks and remind you guys that there is a link at the top of this page that says "Subscribe" this will subscribe you to my blog and inform you of updates. Since I like to blog, there is always something interesting to read! (ok, I think that it is interesting)
