  • The New Apple TV

    buystrip_price20100901

    My new Apple TV arrived today. Wow is the box little.

    Setup is stupid simple too. The first thing I wanted to do was to pair my iPhone remote to it so it would be easier to type in usernames and passwords. Well the only way to do that is to turn on “Home Sharing” which means I have to type in my Apple ID and password with the supplied remote. The remote is a fine piece of equipment but it is still painful to log in to anything using it. After I got the iPhone remote setup then logging into MobileMe, YouTube, and Netflix was a lot easier.

    The next place I went was the Podcasts section where I setup all of my favorite podcasts as, well, my favorites. This makes finding the podcast I like easy to find. I probably watch more content from Revision 3 and TWIT than any other source of content.

    Next I went to the computers section, once there I could browse though all the content I have on my Mac Mini, just like I could with my old Apple TV. One of the strange things I did notice is that all of the content is sorted backwards from the old Apple TV. Other than that I like the new layout better then the old.

    Anyway, un-boxing pictures can be found here.

  • Went for a drive, JD Powers and Assoc. was not invited

    Today, Mister Baywatch and I  embarked on the impossible trek to “The Cabin”. We were not at all confident we would accomplish this task.  After all, our 1992 Dodge Dakota with nearly two hundred and thirty thousand miles on it is not the JD Powers and Assoc. SUV of the year.

    The terrain was tough, we even had to kick in the four wheel drive and climb a few rocks. I know of at least one person who would be jealous of my desert pin striping and his car is the JD Powers and Assoc. SUV of the year.

    In all fairness we took the O’Neal Basin Road up to “The Cabin” and it is a maintained county road. So the drive up was pretty smooth. We then went looking for a path to “Bluebird Heaven” and that’s where the roads started to look more like the ones we were on last Sunday. We did make it through to “Bluebird Heaven” and then it was smooth sailing again.

    Here are some pictures of the adventure.

  • It feels like Fall is here

    fall-leaves

    Summer came late, I think we had two weeks of Summer, and now it feels like fall is here. I had to put a jacket on when I went out side tonight. At the rate it’s going we’ll probably have snow by the end of September.

    The good new is that I wont have to drag the garden hose around for much longer. I’m guessing I’m only going to have to mow my lawn but a couple more times. There are advantages to living at 5236 feet high. There’s a lot I like about the fall but one thing I hate, it’s one season closer to Winter. At least this year I have a 4X4 vehicle to get around when the roads are slick.

    Now that it’s Fall it’s time to start thinking about what winter projects I want to tackle. Some of the programming projects I need to get to is Movie Quiz, POSNow, and some iOS apps. I also want to do a few things to my HHR too.

  • Shoshone Creek Canyon

    Canyon North East of Jackpot

     

    So we took a drive about 10 miles East of Jackpot. From the top if this hill we could see this beautiful canyon. This is not in Nevada but is in Idaho. This is the stream that flows by the Y3 Ranch and in a few more miles it empty's into the Salmon Creek.
