CONNECT360
And then along came Connect360. All I did was type in “xbox 360 with the mac” at Google and there it was. A nice little app made by the people at Nullriver, that will allow one to share their movies, pictures, and tunes from any Mac computer, seamlessly.
Honestly, how f***ing cool is that? It’s a rhetorical question, because it’s beyond cool and I really don’t care if anyone thinks it’s not cool. So, what does this mean? No, I wont do away with the PC, I’m sure I’ll find some use for it. It has a nice retractable coffee cup holder that used to work as CD Player. But with a small light app like this, I can use the X360 fully with my Mac(s).
Connect 360
Connect360 installs easily and is displayed in the System Preferences window (on the Mac). You simple turn your X360 on (not sure if you should do this first, but that’s how I did it), then click on the “Start” button, once you’ve selected Connect360 under the “Other Section.”
You do have to make sure any computer currently connected to your X360, is disconnected. Just head over to the System menu, select Computer, and disconnect. Once done, power down and restart the X360, head over to the Media section and choose to run one of the media options from your computer. You should see all the available computers to select from.
Select the one that is your Mac and off you go. Golden … cheers … kick back and have a beer. You just put a lot of sweat into that …

Spending will make you happier, but not in the way you think. Interesting read over at Secular Philosophy.

Chrisopher Hitchens nails it yet again with this piece for Slate Magazine. After reading the piece, I’m inclined to agree with a lot of it.

When flying 35,000 feet above land, I stare down at the natural landscape and marvel at it ... and every time I fly over a city, town, etc. ... I can’t help but to think ... so this is what cancer looks like.
I know, it’s harsh, but have a look, cities and towns just don’t blend very well with the natural landscape.

According to this read over at Dailytech, the XBOX360 has a 33% failure rate! Like what?? Like how much? Like one in every three units will have hardware failure! I love my box ... and I’m touching wood it stays in with the other 66%.

Old news for some of you out there, but “Demon Days” by Gorillaz ... not bad eh? Not bad at all. Nice tunes on that list.

Yes it’s true .. i know Gorn and I also know ShoeGirl. Personally, I think he could have gone a lot more than 30 days.

A 16 year old girl proclaimed she is an atheist. The reporter asked her why and she promptly replied, “I was born that way.”
Interesting ... she’s right, you know.

CURRENTLY
Kingdom Of Heaven: The story of Balian’s quest for redemption and his battles against those who seek power in it’s name. This is an excellent movie whose message is perhaps more important today than it was then.
Dawkins tackles it all in his no holds barred approach to whether God exists. The stance? The probability of it? Very unlikely.
"Hopes and Fears” and “Under The Iron Sea” by Keane get constant play from my iTunes. Find out why their music is so good. After all they were the band that inspired Coldplay.
As Marcus Fenix, you fight a war against the immense Locust Horde, which not only out powers but outnumbers you, your squad, and the entire force of the Coalition of Ordered Governments. Time to pull out the stops in a game that delivers the next-generation in tactical combat systems in Gears of War.
