Before I do a sweet car project though I've got a couple house projects.

 

1. Heatermeter for the egg.

2. Considering ditching DirectTV and may replace with XBMC powered by raspberry pi or htpc

check out plex, they have client software for just about everything. i have it on a vps so i have music and movies wherever i go, but its mainly geared for what you want.

My buddy shares his account with me and he'll get me any movie I ask for within a day or two. He also shares his in-laws watchespn info. Wife has her moms netflix account, so that leaves hulu. I really want local channels as well but the local channels here are 1.5 hours away in Tulsa so the antenna wouldn't pick them up. I'd really like Houston local channels (if I could choose) so I could get my hometown sports.

It would be nice to get hgtv and others every now and the. I think there are roku channels that do that. What I do want is to need only one device in the end, and I do already have a Roku, but I'm open to change for an upgrade.

ESPN, Fox Sports North, & Food TV are all I need besides over the air. Are they available on anything you've seen?

Good luck with the channel hunting, I have no idea how to go about getting those. I don't know if they still exist but you could try googling: "black box satellite" :D

Have you guys ever looked into WiFi SD cards? The wife and I always seem to leave the SD card out of the camera.

If the card isn't in the camera even a WiFi card can't help either.

;)

Smartass aside, it's only worth it for studio stuff. You need to have a WiFi system with your camera. Your cellphone might work but it will suck. It also won't write as fast as an SD card, so you cannot take a ton of pictures.

Hell, even SD cards aren't fast enough. I get buffer runs on my all the time.

Speaking of fishing. We got to go on a little pond yesterday. My wife finally fished with me and she ended up catching the big fish. I was stoked!

I know man. But it's super duper slow. And only works if you have your laptop with.

It's a tool for studio shooting more than anything else.

Tried electrolytic derusting today on a rusty bracket (which I planned to replace instead of clean and reinstall). And it works very nicely. It takes time but after the solution and electrodes are setup, it's a piece of cake.
