Apple TV + Vuze

Anyone who enjoys television should really think about the combination of these two things. In one hand, you have a teeny tiny little box that sits next to your television that streams content from any iTunes-running computer in your house and plays it on your TV. In the other, you’ve got a bittorrent application with built-in transcoding for any device type you want. Which means, essentially, you don’t have to worry about all that video codec/importing bullshit.

Essentially, you google a torrent for a season or episode of a show you like, you download the torrent file and open it in Vuze and when it’s done, you just drag the finished torrent over to the little iTunes icon in Vuze’s sidepanel. It’ll ask if you want to transcode for an iPad, an iPhone, a bunch of other gadgets, or an Apple TV. And then you go have a sandwich. Later, when you sit down on your couch and pick up the teeny, tiny three button perfection that is the Apple TV remote and browse over to TV Shows… there’s the stuff you just downloaded.

At last, Gos and I will finally finish watching Dead Wood, and start watching Mad Men, The Wire, Twin Peaks, and countless other shows we’ve missed. We’ve got a comfy couch and many blankets. These are good times to have bad sinus infections.

Philadelphia Restaurant Inspections Mashup

Please, PLEASE, read this before you ever go out to eat again.

This is an excerpt from one of the pizza places near Drexel that I used to frequent.

Opening in soil line needs to be capped – raw sewage is contaminating a large portion of the basement floor. Management instructed to initiate immediate corrective action. 7-01 (L) Mouse infestation is present. A severe and pervasive mouse infestation exists throughout this food establishment. Accumulations of fresh mouse droppings were observed inside the walk-in refrigerator on open pizza dough (this was condemned); under cooking equipment; on prep table shelves; inside fryers; on shelves under front serving counter.

AirBorne is Bullshit

I was starting to suspect this as I lay in bed crippled with disease for the third time this year. Now science has confirmed it. AirBorne is junk. Just take a multivitamin.

I love things made out of animals. It’s just so funny to think of someone saying, ‘I need a letter opener. I guess I’ll have to kill a deer.’
