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!

Explicit Ills

Explicit Ills is a fantastic film. Never heard of it, took a chance at the video store and boom, boom, pow, I get hit with this. Check it.

Smoosh!

I know this sounds like an odd recommendation, especially since I found out about them on "Yo Gabba Gabba", but these sisters have potential. They apparently have recorded with Pearl Jam, played on Jimmy Kimmel, opened on tour for the Eels, played SXSW... The drummer is really good.

And don't think what I think you are going to think.

Star Wars in Concert

Not to be confused with Star Wars "EN" Concert, this is the show at the ACC where they have the symphony orchestra play Star Wars music beneath monster screens showing scenes from the movies. And its narrated live by Anthony "C3PO" Daniels!

Mr. and Mrs. Slippy are taking Will to see it! November 26th @ 7:30pm.
