Since the XBox has pooped the bed, and we’ve been burning DVD’s like the amish do, I decided to fix the problem. I had been thinking about replacing me Mac Mini with a MacBook, and using the Mini as a media center, but that solution wasn’t in the near future fiscally.
So, last Friday, I checked out the refurb site on Apple.com, and splurged on a AppleTV.
So far, it’s almost as good as canned beer.
I’m hoping to do some hacking on it so that I can play other formats, and do some other cool geeky things, but it’s so super-duper cool. My fav thing so far is to toss digital movie files into VisualHub, and have it convert the files to an iTunes/AppleTV friendly format, and add the finished file into iTunes, so that they just automagicly appear on the AppleTV.
Next week when Steve releases the new iPhone and all of the software toys for the iPhones, I’ll probably just sign my soul over to him. It’s the only right thing to do.

Better leave some ink in that pen and pass it on to me when you’re done..
