For those of you DIY-types who lust after the Italian OnCinema TEATRO D1 A/V component sized, aluminum encased MCE 2005 PC with a built-in 7-inch touch screen I discussed earlier, here’s a nice option. Atechfabrication has announced a slick case, complete with a cutout for a 7-inch LCD touchscreen. Not a bad idea to offer this to the home consumer market itching to leverage the MCE2005 approach to home media convergence. Still gonna cost a bundle to build a complete system, but it’s nice to dream about, isn’t it? Meanwhile, my DHS system from Alienware has now been on order since 11/16, even after they called to swap out video cards to avoid a ‘lengthy delay’. Grumble.

Tivo To Go Released
TiVo has announced the release of their TiVo To-Go feature, a much ballyhood new capability with significant DRM included to placate rights holders. The software allows you to move recordings between your networked TiVo Series2 DVR and your computer (for now, Windows only). But with previous capabilities using Mac’s Rendezvous technology for picture and music sharing, I’m hoping the Mac software is not far behind. Now to go and get a TiVo 2 machines to replace my old first generation box.
Tsunami Video
On vacation last week, I was away from any readily available broadband access, so I’m catching up with some of the incredible content on the web related to the Christmas Tsunami. Cheese and Crackers has one of the better aggregated collections of video content I’ve found. Definetly worth a look.
Back from Vaca
Just back in Atlanta from a holiday trip to Florida. I’ll resume posting shortly. Gosh, this page looks blank without any posts for the past week! Sorry.
