Google TV Update Coming Soon
It is long overdue but Google TV is about to get a big update in the next few weeks. Today I received an email from Google detailing the changes. I am most excited about the ability to download apps from their Android app center. This functionality is really going to make Google TV worth it. If you remember I was giving my Google TV as part of a developer program so I did not pay for it. I was very disappointed until I finished my home theater. Now we use it all the time. I will follow up when the updated is installed and give a quick overview. Maybe I will shoot a video recap of the...
Read MoreNew Site Updates & Gallery
This weekend I decided to make a few site updates. I have been pretty lazy about updates. The layout for one has changed. It is more of a aggregate layout now. I have so many different things going on this new system will keep information going to the site on a regular basis. At a quick glace you can just about see everything I have my hands in at the moment. The one area I am very happy with is a new gallery system. I like to shoot and upload photos but I don’t want to have countless posts of just a single photo. That is kind of annoying to the reader. I could post photos in groups...

Found this on the web today via Stumbled Upon. Have no idea who the author was but I find it pretty amusing.
Read MorePint Tracker Monitor Updates
Tonight my USB extension cables came from MonoPrice. I was a little skeptical if they would work or not. If you did not know USB has a 16 foot range. If I wanted to mount a monitor by the tap I had to find a way to get way more than 16 feet away from my Mac Mini. The MonoPrice 33′ active USB cable had really good reviews so I ordered three of them. At a price of $10.20 each it is a steal. These could cost you $50 each at a place like Best Buy. But you can’t even find them any place. These are a monoprice brand not a third part brand. There was a waiting list for them a few...
Read MoreAnd the Leader Board Says…
Last night Justin came over and we worked on his website for a while. We put a new theme on it and then I showed him how to use some of the back end features. We also tested out the Pint Tracker app. I created a fob for Justin so it was ready when he arrived. I now have Pint Tracker running as an AIR app. It is working out great. I have a shortcut down in my dock so it make it really convenient to start and stop Pint Tracker as needed. I found a real nice pint icon over at http://www.iconspedia.com that I am using. Take a look at my dock and you can see the icon sixth from the right....
Read MoreWho Wants a FOB (aka Beer)
I ordered and received 10 new FOBbs this week. Planning on having a few friend over in the next few weekends. I needed to get some FOBs ready to be scanned for Pint Tracking. I now need to assign the FOBs to a few select people so they are ready when they come over. Also on Pint Tracker I exported as a Adobe Air App so I am now running that full time now on my media center PC. Here is the latest beer totals. ...
