Toys

Ahh toys.

I've added a little toy to this blog: a "cbox." (I think that's supposed to mean "chat box.") Which means....yes! You TOO can leave me a message, chat with others who are also visiting this blog or WHAT HAVE YOU. Amazing. Look to the West (left) to see what I'm talking about.

Currently my favorite toy at home is my TiVo. I love my TiVo. The only I don't like is that doesn't play well with my Mac. Well that will change. I am planning on partitioning my G4 tower and installing XP on it so that it WILL (oh yes) WILL play nice with my TiVo, allowing me to record DVDs and other such goodness. After all I can't really be expected to record stuff to VHS tapes, can I? I mean, isn't that some form of geek sacriledge or something? Not sure about that, and admittedly it is a little sickening to think about trying to install XP on my Mac, when TiVo is already connected to my VCR and I just have to run down to Freddy's for some blank tapes to get rolling. But that's a little too simple, isn't it. (Just say "Yes, Amber. Yes it is.")

I also got a Roomba on Woot for cheap. But I haven't let it come out to play yet. Soon, though. Very soon.

Exciting times, we live in. Very exciting.
