neurological dryer lint

i was corrected on some stuff i'd posted about the tivo2go:

- you can play the .tivo files in other media players besides WMP. go figure - i assume that it's the only one because i haven't tried. VideoLan Client can do it - i've never tried the windows version, only the linux one, and i wasn't super thrilled, but it's an option.
- there is a way to burn them to DVD. which may be what pushes me to buy an IDE DVDR drive.
- you can use Dr. DIVX to decode the files as well - however, it costs $30. but i'm sure more free options will be available soon.

i guess i'm just disappointed that a company that champions the ease-of-use of their product would make something that you can do so little with - that just seems so limiting. gosh, that was horrible grammar. steve is going to shoot me in the face now. :)

getting a sidekick just seems to be inevitable now. maybe it'll happen in the next few months - but i have like four seminars/conferences i have to go to for work in the next month, and i need to have access to my mail while i'm there. i've found some deals online that will get me a sidekick free w/rebates, and some good t-mobile plans. i guess i just don't know how good t-mobile's service is... my boy ed here at work has it and says it's pretty good from what he has seen.

i read some stuff this morning that seems to really confirm the shift i wrote about a few posts back, about where i want to go in regards to doing ministry and stuff. when i have more time i'll probably dig into it. it's things that paul wrote to the colossians, in 2:6 - 3:17. woot.

oh and i started watching Fargo... i know it's a classic, and i love the coen brothers... but man, it was hard to get through. i gave up after about an hour. it was just boring me to tears. i'm going to give it another go this weekend, i think... what has so damaged my good taste and sense of humor? why can't i appreciate something like this? hmm.
