One of the movies that shaped my desire for technology as a kid was the original TRON movie. Can’t wait to see TRON Legacy. The light bikes look awesome!

Twitter It!Netflix App on Plex
Thursday, April 9th, 2009Oh boy. It just keeps getting better. I can’t even tell you how much more time I spend in the basement now that I have my media center rocking. The two things that I was missing in Plex was Last.fm and Netflix. I got the Last.fm app working last week. Now the Netflix app is finally released. Very, very cool.
As I mentioned before the backgrounds/fan art that shows in the backgound when viewing moves makes Plex the sexiest media center app there is. This is carried over to the Netflix app as well. Check this screen shot.
Mac Mini Update: Plex or Boxee?
Wednesday, March 18th, 2009The Mac Mini has been in use now for more than a week. It is time to provide some details on what media center applications I am using the most. There are only two options in my opinion that are worth looking at. It comes down to Boxee and Plex. I am not going to give a full review of each app because it has been done thousands of time already on the web. If you want to learn more about Plex and Boxee just check them out on the web. What I am going to focus on is what specifically I like about each.
Twitter It!Netflix Player Announced and Available
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008
I just seen Netflix released their streaming box and it is very cool. $99 and unlimited movies. You will need a Netflicks account of $9 or more to use it. This just might get me back to using the Netflix service. You can pause, stop, and play the movies just like you were using the DVD. You can also will use the normal snail-mail DVD option with your account. The box has HDMI but doesn’t come with any cables. All the other connections are there as well.
The box is made by Roku and sold by them. I really don’t think you can beat this deal and the only draw back I see is that new releases won’t be available on their release day. But you always have the DVD order option. Check out all the juicy details at http://www.roku.com/netflixplayer/.
