Friend of mine sent this to me… Good stuff.
If you are 40, or older, you might think this is hilarious!
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning…. Uphill… Barefoot… BOTH ways… yadda, yadda, yadda
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they’ve got it!
But now that I’m over the ripe old age of forty, I can’t help but look around and notice the youth of today.
You’ve got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia! And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don’t know how good you’ve got it!
I mean, when I was a kid we didn’t have the Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!
There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter – with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox, and it would take like a week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents!

I downloaded the PlayOn media server two days ago and have been playing around with their fully functional demo. I have to say it simply works as advertised and took no more than 2 minutes to set up. In a matter of minutes I was streaming Hulu and Netflix shows right to my TV via my iMac and it works GREAT!
It works so well as a matter of fact that I purchased a lifetime license for the software. If you are interested in grabbing your own copy hurry because they are offering a special discount… The normal price is $39.99 but if you buy it before this Sunday you can get it for only $19.99! That really is a sweet deal. If you want to quickly try before you buy you can download the demo and give it a good test drive.
Hulu users especially know that they make it very difficult to watch network TV shows on an actual TV as they try to keep you limited to watching in your PC’s or Mac’s browser or the Hulu desktop client. I’d much rather watch shows on a 50″ Plasma and I’m sure you would as well… With PlayOn this is no longer a problem and I’ve yet to find an easier solution.
PC users can just install the software/set up your account logins for Hulu, Netflix, etc. and you are done. Mac users like myself have to take a few extra steps but it is extremely simple to set up. Here is a link that will guide OS X users through the basic setup/install (some of the screen shots are a bit outdated but you will still be able to follow the set up very easily).
What you will need to run the PlayOn media server:
- PC running Windows OS
- Mac (OS X) running windows via Virtualization software such as Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, or even apple’s boot camp.
- 512 MB RAM
- 100MB of available hard drive space for the install
- A networked PS3, Xbox 360, Wii or DLNA compliant device
I tested PlayOn on an HP Desktop PC / 24″ iMac 2.8Ghz extreme and a macbook. The PC was running Win XP pro and I tested XP pro and Win 7 on my iMac and macbook. It worked seamlessly on all three setups with no snags at all. Depending on the speed of your ISP you may need to tweak your streaming settings (or you can just choose auto).
The bottom line is I’ve played around with various media servers on my Mac and this by far is the simplest and easiest to set up solution I’ve found. It was a good deal at $39.99 but it truly is a steal at $19.99! Give it a go and enjoy all the perks of streaming to your actual TV

Well our beloved Buffy Dog has already been through so much in her short 6 years of life. At 1 1/2 years old she had to have a full hip replacement, a couple of years ago she had a cancerous tumor and it was removed successfully, a couple of months ago she blew out her knee and had major knee surgery…. And now we have discovered a lump on her left front ankle.
My wife and I took her to the vet right away and and our vet was able to aspirate the lump and get a sample of what was inside. She saw some spindle cells and was a bit concerned (those can mean there is cancer) and shipped the sample off to the lab for further examination. The results came back the same and after another visit to the vet she suggested we make an appt. with the oncologist at our local VCA. Buffy dog goes in on the 28th to get it looked at by the doggy oncologist and they suggested a biopsy with wide margins to get a real good idea of what is going on.
The bottom line is we truly love our animals and if you can just take 2 seconds and think of a positive thought I would really appreciate it. She is the kindest most gentle creature and we want nothing more for her to live a very long, healthy and happy life with us.

Well apple has done it yet again… Before the product is even released is being called a hit and a game changer. Apple builds great products and I own many of them. But.. I’m still not getting it, or missing something.
How is this not just an over-sized iPod touch? You really cannot call it a computer (no usb, firewire, etc. ports) can you? I can’t install software on it or multitask nor even do a video chat, unless something comes out as a surprise when it is released in a couple of days. You will be able to purchase tons of app’s from the app store and many of those I’m sure will be very good, but it’s just not the same freedom I have on my Macbook.
To me that is the question… How does the iPad bridge that gap between my iPhone and and my Macbook? To me it doesn’t make that leap, at least not with the version one product. Do I want one? Sure, it would be a great little toy to have and millions of people will find a use for it or it will bridge that gap for them.
I also found this article to a PC magazine review of the iPad. So for all the Apple haters here is an unbiased raving review from a ‘non’ apple base So please don’t take this post the wrong way, I love apple and their products. I was just really hoping this would be more of an actual netbook competitor and not a slick looking toy.
