Quick mac-mini tips
Posted by jayb in Home Theater, Technology on October 13, 2009
I got an old mac-mini to run boxee on. It’s pretty sweet. But has a PC I don’t know my way around OSX.
Here’s a few tips I found tonight.
Need to do a ctrl-alt-del on OSX
Apple + Alt + ESC or Win + Alt + ESC
Looking for task manger? You can find it /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app
I only have 512 megs on this mini-mac so boxee locks up on my sometimes, I need to buy some more ram for it.

15 coolest geek-themed home theaters
Posted by jayb in Home Theater on March 16, 2008
All I can say is WOW, these are a lot of skill and a lot of money!
I like the death star and the pirates rooms best
When geeks set out to make home theaters, the results are often astounding, with some very cool themes. Often based on Sci-Fi flicks, these amazing works of art are expensive labors of geek love.

I got my xbox 360
Posted by jayb in Uncategorized on February 8, 2008
I went to target last night and picked up a xbox 360 and madden 08. They had a deal where I got madden for free. I also applied for a target card and got 10% off the purchase. I’ll pay it off and cancel the credit card when I get the bill.
I got everything setup and was playing last night until about midnight. Its so sweet on my projector!!! 104 inches of 1080i greatness. I’m still learning my way around the xbox dashboard and setup my xbox live account.
Is it best to keep the xbox on and just power off the controller? I’ll get a gamercard and post it here so anyone can add me to their xbox live friends list.
I’m so pumped, when I get a little time I want to work on getting Tversity working with the xbox.
later,jb
