I attended a live taping of Late of the Pier, a band I reviewed. And wow they had so many bad luck with their instruments not working and stuff. Most ridiculous thing was when a staff going on stage to hold a microphone to the hand drums.
Anyway, I am in front as there were no fans there! If they edit it, look for me with a green shirt and Sweaty hair and glasses. It was a lot of fun. It's too bad the band looked awkward being filmed. Maybe they were nervous and maybe they weren't used to bad problems?
Either way it was a nice free show and they had a full setlist, none of that 30 microsets
So hey on iPod in bed again ( I know I am doing a series of these " in bed with vu" posts. I talked to Brody and I think I may be going to sxsw this year. He's got the whole plan basically I will just "tag along" as it were. The cost will be minimal, paying some gasoline and hotel etc. It'll be well worth it since I have always wanted to go.
I can cross this off my list.... There is always cmj still.
Ps those are my cats. Too cute.

I'm am laying in bed with my cat. Things are getting warmer but still not warm enough. It makes me wish it was summer so I can ride my bicycle. That is an old photo I called bicycle adventures. Maybe when I have time I will upload some bike videos on YouTube.
Maybe I should get some breakfast I am soooiooo laZy and I hate typing on iPod keyboard
I was on the lookout for getting my own media receiver/player, and there's just not a lot of appealing players with equally appealing price (read: cheap). What I'm looking for is a product that can play back my media files, plus connect to the internet to watch Netflix, Hulu, CBS, etc. I do not want the product to be reliant on a media server nor do I want to hack it to get it to function (I'm looking at you Apple TV).
Since I'm probably never going to get one that will work for me, instead I'm currently playing around with free TVersity, since ditching PlayOn (the trial was only 15 days and there was no compelling features that would warrant me paying $30 for beta product).
TVersity, based on testing it, works pretty well, that is if you don't use their transcoding or interface! Best of all, you can launch Safari on your iPhone and and point to your IP address: xxx.xxx.x.x:41952 and it will automatically take you to the sharing folders of TVersity. Music and videos plays flawlessly on the iPod and works amazing if you use that same method on your PS3 using their built-in browser.
If you want to test it out for yourself, here's how you find your IP address, on Windows:
- Go to Control Panel: Networking Connections: Local Area Connection.
- Double click on the icon and go to the "Support" tab and it will list your IP address.
On Macs I'm sure it's a lot simpler
PS, will someone please make a working product to watch over-the-air television that doesn't require a media server for the iPhone?
