Being a fan of Joss Whedon and his Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog, I just had to post this incredible rendition. If you haven’t seen the original yet, please go watch it first or else you aren’t going to truly appreciate this. A fan must have spent a ton of time putting this together and I think the results are […]
Read moreI’ve been happily chugging along with my SageTV server /client setup for some time now. After 2 major snowstorms here in the northeast, accumulating a very unusual 48+ inches, only to be followed shortly thereafter by 2 rainstorms, which wound up with FEMA assistance coming in to some areas, we are now coming to the end of our first–quite early […]
Read moreSPCR has just overhauled their guide on what it takes to keep a PC case quiet. They cover regular PCs and even give special attention to the needs of the HTPC community. The breadth of coverage (case, drives, materials, etc.) is quite impressive and well worth taking the time to read. SilentPCReview One poorly understood aspect of PC noise is […]
Read moreOn the surface, this sounds like a terrible loss for everyone but Comcat, however, I predict that it won’t be long before Congress passes a bill granting the FCC the authority it currently lacks. A federal appeals court has ruled that the Federal Communications Commission lacks the authority to require broadband providers to give equal treatment to all Internet traffic […]

Recently, Monoprice was notified of a potential security breach when a few of their customers notified them "that information from credit cards they used on the Monoprice website had […]
Read moreNot being a Netflix subscriber, I can’t personally say how I feel about this. However, the author does make some pretty valid observations about the potential impact of the USPS’ decision to discontinue Saturday delivery service. I hadn’t considered this side of it. What do you Netflix junkies think? The elimination of Saturday delivery would mean that Netflix subscribers will […]
Read moreThis is another hot topic, which will most likely garner some spirited discussion. Windows Home Server’s add-in support has been a blessing for many users, adding features which people found WHS to be lacking or simply enhancing existing features.

Read moreAs an MMA (mixed martial arts) fan, I wasn’t exactly thrilled when Versus and DirecTV had their little domestic spat and parted ways 6 months ago. For those who don’t know, the UFC uses Versus for nearly all of their WEC cards (live events included), as well as featuring some previously unseen UFC fights. There have even been discussions about […]

This is a pretty good introduction to the world of home security. Nothing fancy, but a good way to get your gears turning and headed down the path to home security.
