  • Set XBMC to Auto Update Library

    After getting XBMC Live installed on my Revo and getting my library setup, I couldn’t find a simple option to have XBMC watch my video folder and automatically update my library. In place of this missing functionality, I figured I would setup a simple timed job to automatically update my library for me every hour.…

  • Flash Video: End of the World

    I promised Alex that I would upload two of our favorite flash videos: Mario Twins and End of the World.  You can find the Mario video at the following link: Mario Twins The End of the World video is below. It may take a few minutes to load on slow connections as it’s somewhat large…

  • Flash Videos: Mario Twins

    I’ve uploaded the Mario Twins (Shiggity Shiggity Shwa) and End of the World flash videos to my website. The Mario one will start playing automatically, so I decided to put the End of the World on it’s own blog post. You can find the End of the World video at this link: End of the World

  • Graphics Make Games Fun Again

    As I’ve mentioned before in other posts, I’m not a really big gamer.  I use my original xbox as a media center and use it to play NES, SNES, and other old console games. Ignoring my status as a non-gamer, I decided to get an Xbox 360 elite when it came out. Microsoft finally decided…

  • Another Round of Toys

    I just went through another round of buying toys and I’m not sure I’m quite done yet.  My most recent purchases include yet another large hard drive (500 gig), next-gen game console, speaker wire, and more.   The Xbox 360 Elite edition recently came out and I had been eyeing it for a while leading…
