Cool new things report

Apple Tv. I bought one. It rocks. It is easy to get content from the many computers around my home. The streaming works flawlessly. I have only once experienced some lag. It also is not too hard to create backups of movies using Handbrake. I imagine one could create an enormous library of movies and tv show. Get yourself a netflix account ($20 a month, 3 movies/tv shows discs at a time), a cheap computer with upgraded hard drive ($500), and an Apple Tv ($299). Oh yeah and a HDMI cable ($50-$75). Now you are ready to back up hundreds of movies over the next year. Lets say you back up only 10 movies a month. Thats a 120 movies a year. You could easily do more. Borrow from friends ;) Even if you only stream the movies (less quality) you can have a huge library of movies available.

Enough about ATV. It rocks.

So work wise, I am going to be doing some work with Atom. I'm excited. It seems like cool stuff. I've also started messing with my javascript application again. It shouldn't take much longer to get a working release... I don't know when I will have time for working on it.

A really cool project I have not had time to play with is Camel. It is another brain child of James Stratchan, a guy who has worked on some big open source projects.
