So for Christmas I got a USB wireless adapter for my Tivo, and today I finally got the coolest application for the Tivo working, Galleon. I can now stream mp3's wirelessly from my laptop to my Tivo, and play them on the TV. So now I can change songs by hitting buttons on a remote instead of using a mouse, and if I want to hear music in the living room, I don't have to lug my laptop and speakers in there. I can also display any of the photos on my hard drive on the TV, useful for showing stuff to large groups of family members, and it adds a "Save to Computer" option directly from the Tivo. Plus email, weather, traffic, and lots lots more. If you have a Tivo it's well worth trying it out.

Looking for a way to show your true love? How about biting each other's fingers off? I should probably should have waited to post that for the Valentine's Day update, but it's just too good to wait.

We've been discovering all kinds of crazy stuff during the last few days as we've been trying to clean out the house, including this NES "Homework First" lock that my parents felt compelled to buy even though it was never opened. I wonder if they make anything like that for the Wii.

Adios 2006
