I've recently had to give up my dog Tyson because he was a little over protective and my family and friends were intimidated by him. My son will be born any day now, I know that everyone will want to come over, and dealing with a barking dog and the newborn baby - the new parents were scared that we will be overwhelmed with 'dealing' with the issues. It was with great sadness we had Tyson re-adopted. This is where JR's dog training's Joe Rosen came to the rescue for us.
It has been a long time coming, almost one and a half months since my last post! Wow! I have been busy at home with work in my Garage, i have a new central heating and cooling system installed, brand new 200amp electrical panel, and i was outside raking my lawn. Who would of thought me getting a house with Severine would be so...fun!
I do not want to dock Apple. I like Apple stuff, infact I have owned many iPods with no problems and no issues. There is just the scary matter of the stories I hear of Apple covering up their support issues.

When building a HTPC, I find getting a nice looking case is always a problem! It is hard to find something that looks good on paper, and in your TV stand. I have built some HTPCs with Antec Cases, but I have always wanted to get my hands on a Moneual MonCaso case. Just look at them, they look so impressive that you almost are afraid to touch it!

There is also now a bonus feature - Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD Master Audio is available on all of AMD's ATI 5000-series videocards. Read More
World, meet the most anticipated hardware from Mac. Rumors of this pad have been around for almost ten years. There are even jokes and comics about the rumors all over the net. My colleague that has a website about DSLRs and all things cameras even has a post. I have to do a post about it as well! How is it related to HTPCs? Well, it is not, but it is the first in a wave of new products and copy cats that will be created. There is a lot of potential in a product like this. It can be used as a big remote for your Home Theatre room, the possibilties are endless, it has many features of the iPhone and iPod Touch and runs a modified version of the iPhone's operating system. Just like the iPod before it, book stores hope that the iPad will revolutionize the Print industry. Read More

I was chatting with a friend, and he just purchased his new PS3 Slim and he spent the weekend reading up on it, i was surprised to learn that the news Playstation model, the PS3 Slim and not the previous model now support HD audio - Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA - through Bitstream on HDMI!
I googled it and found a great detailed page called Playstation 3 Secrets with a LOT of information about the Playstation 3 models, the differences and a lot of details the average consumer doesn't know. They confirm, that only the Slim models can do the HD audio. Looks like it's time for an upgrade for me soon. Read More
