Cooliris

So, I stumbled across this while creating a gallery for my other blog today...

Initially I thought, "OK, I'll try it out, but it's likely that I'll uninstall it."

I haven't uninstalled it just yet. I've been kinda pleased with this app actually.

Cooliris claims that their software takes 2-D images and videos and makes a 3-D environment for you to look through them. What's cool is that Facebook (and now my own blog), Google Images, Youtube, all include the plugins to activate this feature when you're feeling adventurous.

Anyway... If you've got some spare CPU processing and a few minutes to install it, you may think it's worth it.

Logitech and XBMC

I recently picked up a Logitech Harmony 520 remote for about $40. It is FANTASTIC!
I highly recommend it.

Anyway, I have been getting it working with my devices, which took about 2 minutes, except for the Xbox, which took a little bit longer because I have a modded Xbox with XBMC.

With a little Googling, I found this site, which got me all straightened out.

Man this stuff is cool.
