Tivo - the nail in the coffin

http://gizmodo.com/5412735/tivo-is-slowly-dying

It's on its last legs - they should have started working with www.boxee.tv about 2 years ago.

Is it (still) a good time to buy a TiVo?:

Posted from a question I got from a forum... here's my take:


I have used the Tivo Series 2, DirectTivo, Tivo HD, Comcast, Verizon
Fios, Cox Cable, and Time Warner, and Windows Media Center XP, Vista,
7, and some strange TV recording functionality that ATi built a couple
of years ago... it did have integrated TV guide.

Financial Management Website

Found this service recently, it seems pretty good so far.

 http://www.mint.com

 The site tracks your accounts, 401k info, loans, and sends you alerts.  Better than what your bank provides, and one interface as opposed to multiples if you have accounts with others.  Supports PenFed, Bb and t, most banks.  You can have it send alerts for most anything, and have budget reminders too.  They have an app for iphone and iPod touch too.  Worth checking out if you want to see where your money is going.

I can't get my kicks on Route 66

  

Google Maps - can't find its way on 66?

So... Living in DC, I have noticed that Google Maps is somewhat afraid to lead it's users down Route 66, regardless of whether that way is faster, or easier, or just makes complete sense.  The worst part is, you cannot even use the drag and drop option in google to force the route to include 66.  It's as if 66 does not exist inside the beltway.

Baltimore Orioles Baseball Game

 

Hey Guys, trying to get everyone together to watch an O's game - looking like the August 25th, at 7:05pm. Let me know if you are interested, this includes anyone from Florida as well.

 {EDIT}

It is now currently looking like Sept 8th... Hopefully we can get Matt to buy the tickets from the box office and pay him once we all arrive.
