Avatar

Epic.

Saw Avatar on the weekend in 3D. Wanted to catch it on the IMAX screen, but it was sold out.

My Early Christmas Prezzie

So, here's a pic of my early Christmas present. I think the picture speaks for itself, but if not, I'll add the word, "sweet".

The Land of the Lost - Will Ferrell Style!

The kids trailers threw me off but, OMG, this is funneee! Never seen the original. Doesn't matter. I simply love Will Ferrell.

Time Capsule Update

Well, after receiving an e-mail from the Time Capsule Memorial Register, I decided to call Apple again and see if they would replace my dead Time Capsule even though it's past warranty.

I've got a new one being shipped to me for next week! Free! My faith in Apple has been restored.

Glee and Modern Family

Adding on to Dubby's stellar reco of Parks and Recreation, I suggest two more shows for your watching pleasure:

Glee


Modern Family

Parks & Recreation

This is my new favourite show! The cast is stellar and funny, funny, funny!

RIP Apple Time Capsule

Well, after posting 18 months ago what a great device this was, I join a growing list of disgruntled Apple Time Capsule owners whose equipment has died. Exactly 18 months to the day of arriving at my house, my Time Capsule is dead. Without warning. Kaput. No power, no restore, no love.

Despite more than 20,000 hits to a 17-page discussion thread on Apple's own support forum, they refused to acknowledge it as a problem during my call to support, just a lone incident. There's even an online registry for dead Time Capsules. Of course, their standard warranty is 1 year, and no longer covers my Time Capsule boat anchor. Luckily, I bought it with a gold mastercard which extends my warranty coverage by 1 year, but it will still be an effort to get it replaced.

So I am without my automated backup solution and wireless n network right now. Beware!
