Twilight's tumblr

A poem I created, a bit of mythology if you will:

As the gods battle amongst themselves,
The Creator saw a noble warrior,
This man, to become a god.

Twilight’s sacred task, to unite both worlds.
The others, banish him
Back to “his mortal world.”

He who ascended him, to not forsake,
Gave him the powers of the Earth,
But his true power, sealed in the heavens.

Only when the Moon and Sun,
Both see across the horizons,
Twilight’s power will be free.

The Seals, broken by the Eyes,
Will bring forth the apocalypse,
And unite both worlds.

Wii!!!

I now have a Wii and I’m totally hooked!

Thoughts on Apple TV

Apple TV. I’ll get one eventually, but in the meantime, I would like to share my thoughts on what the future of this product might hold.

The Apple TV is somewhat revolutionary, albeit some of its functionality is a little late, and all around something good for Apple and consumers.  But it strikes to me that this just might be where Apple might have failed.

You see, Apple has what it needs for this to be something greater, but they don’t seem to have everything under the hood just right yet.

What I’m talking about is a true Apple TV.  A flat screen (plasma?) television that has what we know of Apple TV today with DVR functionality. 

I’m talking a 34” to 50” (or more?) wide screen television, that can record ATSC TV like Tivo, Play your iTunes music, television shows, movies, podcasts, do it in HD, with 5.1 surround sound, can connect wirelessly or over an ethernet cable, connect with your iPod, and maybe more.

Some of the functionality is already here.  Take LG’s flat panels for instance, some of them have a 160GB hard drive built in that can record TV.  Some concepts of TVs are having ethernet jacks built in so it can connect to a networked computer.  

Personally, I think they want people to get excited about what they have now. It’s just a snack that prepares you for the full course meal. 

Windows Home Server

Pretty soon, I’ll be joining the elite few(?) who get to try out Windows Home Server Beta 2.  Unfortunately, I’ve got to get more RAM…  I must embark on a wondrous journey, where I’m sure to get distracted, to Newegg.com!!!
