Yum! Homemade Casey’s Capellini Pomodoro. A modest amount of angel hair pasta and lightly breaded chicken, sautéed with fresh tomatoes, chopped basil, and garlic.

Good news everyone.. I’ve invented a device that makes you read this in my voice.

A very informative and interesting infographic on North Korea.

So, I spent awhile setting up the perfect WMC box only to discover in my bios I had to switch to AHCI from ATA in order to enable e-sata.. no problem! I quickly changed the setting in my bios and everything looked okay. until…

I was stuck in a reboot loop! However I noticed it did not reboot until windows was partially loaded, so this had to be a driver issue. I switched back to ATA, found registry keys to change to enable AHCI, then switched to AHCI in the bios yet again.

This time all is well. In the registry change the following keys value to hexadecimal 0.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\IastorV

Let’s get to the photos. All the pictures are from my iphone, so their not too great and don’t quite do it justice. It’s a full 1080P beautiful experience on my Sony Bravia KDL-52W4100 @ 120hz. The first photo is the opening screen.

Next let’s see the main menu.

Once you’ve selected a program you can pull a smaller guide over the video, or the big guide.

You can even check the weather, without leaving your show.

One really cool feature is the ability to browse sports scores, and see a line up of upcoming sports games. Say you wanted to catch the Duke v Virginia game, you’d just find it in the sports schedule and it tells you what station it’s on and when. More than that you can click on the station and go there, set up a recording, etc.

and don’t forget netflix and podcasts:
