Is that a 100GB DVR in your Pocket or are you just Happy to see Me

Get ready to step aside Tivo you are about to become a clunky old Dinosaur! Will the pocket DVR device become a Tivo killer or a Tivo Companion.

Evidently a popular supplier of usb memory keys Archos, has come out with several new models of pocket sized DVR's ranging from a 499.99 30GB unit up to a $799.00 100GB unit. Each unit comes standard with a widescreen formatted LCD display for in unit playback as well as TV output capable. The whole concept of this appears to me as if it would be the future of DVR's. Record your shows while you are out and then watch them when you get home or pop it in your pocket and watch them anywhere and on any TV. In all honesty these maybe less of a Tivo killer and may become more of a Tivo companion.

Compared to today's standard Tivo these are a little pricey but if you are interested here is the full features list on the 100GB unit.

Has anyone out there actually purchased or used one of these pocket DVR devices? I am looking to get some good technical and user feedback from an owner or user.

He's back!!!! The Man of Steel Flies again in '06

He's faster than a speeding bullet and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Oh yeah and he is back in the summer of 2006. Oh yeah, the “man of steel” is back for the 2006 summer bash which is Superman Returns. If you click on my link it will take you to the teaser trailer which looks great. Evidently the director Bryan Singer has decided to forget that all of the other Superman movies but the first two Richard Donner films ever existed and this new one picks up right where "Superman 2" left off. Yay, no Richard Pryor or Search for peace!!!

The teaser trailer gave me goose bumps and made me feel like a kid again. Damn, it really made me remember how cool it was to watch Christopher Reeves sport the Blue and Red when I was a kid. It gives me serious shivers of excitement as this series has been on a seriously lousy 15 year hiatus and even longer if you only account for the first two films which were the only ones with any decent writing.

Cast:
Superman - Brandon Routh
Lex Luther - Kevin Spacey
Lois Lane - Kate Bosworth

Hook'n a Trojan and Spit in his Heisman Stealing Eye

So I am loving the idea of the USC vs. UT matchup in the Rose Bowl this year. Loving it, loving it, loving it!!! I really want the Longhorns to win this one and even more so after the disappointment of the Heisman Trophy. I am not going to candy coat it here, Vince Young got seriously screwed in my opinion.

Yeah So I am a little agitated and still not seeing the whole Reggie Bush win of the Heisman Trophy over Vince Young as legitimate. If you look at the stats vs. total amount of time played I think Vince excels far beyond Reggie Bush. The Longhorns have dominated in a lot of blow out games this year which has resulted in Vince Young not playing full four quarters. If you doubt the numbers though bounce over to ESPN.com and check on the stats for each player. Now I am not saying that Reggie Bush is not a great running back because he is. Anyone who racks up 1700+yds in a single season with an added 300+yds of receptions is definitely great. But lets look at Vince young with granted only 800+yds rushing but coupled with 2400+yds in passing. I mean we are talking one person (Reggie Bush) that has resulted in just over total 2000+yds for his team this season as opposed to another (Vince Young) who has earned over 3200+yds for his team. I mean look at the numbers. Granted that Bush has put on several Saturdays worth of four quarter rushing clinics this season that people will look on in amazement for a while. But if you look at the stats I think it shows Vince to be the better player especialy considering he almost never got to play 4 full quarters.

Maisis.NET: It’s Hee’errrr! AND IT’S ALL MINE! BACK, BACK I SAY!!

So I finally got it. The name was on reserve for almost three years but Maisis.NET finally became available and I snatched it up within 3hrs of it being deregistered from the original owner.

God I love it! I have already redirected http://maisis.net to my blog over at http://maisis00.blogspot.com and officially changed the name from “The Maisis Outlet” to the simple and elegant Maisis.NET. Ooh, it has been a long time coming and to be honest with you until I go the e-mail last night I had almost forgotten that I had even reserved it. I normally would not do something like that beacuse it almost seems futile in most cases but I really wanted this domain name. So when I got the e-mail last night I instantly bounce over to GoDaddy.com paid my $8.95 to register it and then I redirected it to my blog.
