As usual we have our normal collection of news, politics, a game buried in the middle, some random oddities, and today a small bit of American History Triva. Enjoy.

I really wanted to hold off posting this until I manage to get one up a running but it occurs to me that others out there might have more free time and resources than I do at the moment. Damn you all.

How to Go from Xbox to Xbox Media Center in 30 minutes
http://www.productwiki.com/microsoft_xbox/article/how_to_go_from_xbox_to_xbox_media_center_in_30_minutes.html

What's the big deal I hear you ask? It's simple, I like many others I know, have large amounts of multimedia files on our computers. This allows us to free those files from the restraints of our computers and allow us to enjoy them on our entertainment centers. Simple really.

X-box Media Center
http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/info_project.htm
"Currently XboxMediaCenter can be used to play/view most common video/audio/picture formats such as MPEG-1/2/4, DivX, XviD, MP3, AAC, JPG, GIF plus many more less known formats directly from a CD/DVD in Xbox DVD-ROM drive or of Xbox hard-drive, XBMC can also stream files from a PC over a local network and even stream media streams directly from the internet. XBMC has playlist and slideshow functions, a weather forecast and many audio visualizations. All these features enable the Xbox™ running XboxMediaCenter to fully function as a multimedia jukebox. XBMC is easy to install and use, it's very convenient and flexible plus offers a great price/performance ratio. XBMC is of also course completely free of any adware or spyware."

At least two (2) people have told me they plan to work on this project this weekend, as I get updates I'll let the rest of you know. For those working on the project, please - keep notes, take pictures, something to help document the process for the rest of us about to jump on this. Thanks.
