For only $27 more you could fill it with 36GB worth of SD cards.

Oh and I bought eight 56 quart/33 liter storage containers yesterday at home depot - that's 448 quarts or 264 liters of storage for $45!

But our storage until still costs us $110 a month (until we get rid of it).

Fair enough. I couldn't resist

Lani and I are new the iPhones. So we're finally getting to experience AutoCorrect for ourselves.

Lani just let me know that she just won a Twitter haiku context getting us tickets to the A's game this weekend. And it includes the pee game competition. (though that is close it enough I suppose it might have just been a good old fashioned typo.)

Welcome to the iVerse, Alex and Lani! Gabba Gabba, and all that.

Heheh, I'm happy with the new Netflix pricing. I get a $3 deduction in my DVD-only plan. I'm such a tech retard that I don't have a wireless network at home, with no way to "stream" content to my big display unit. Watching movies on my computer screen is not nearly as much fun, and I'm rarely in such a hurry to see something that I can't wait a few days for it to arrive in the mail.

Ah, the rare advantage of being an old man! I still watch DVDs!

On the other hand, I'm considering cancelling Netflix because they now distribute "rental" discs with no extras, and not the identical discs you can buy in stores. If I happen to like a movie, I really want to watch the filmmakers' commentary. With that option gone, I'm not keen to rent nearly as many titles. I know this isn't Netflix's decision; it's being forced on them by the studios. But the price change is no different; the studios have increased their prices, and Netflix is passing them on. But I conduct business with Netflix, not the studios. If I find I'm barely renting things anymore (and I'm very close to that now), I'll just quit being a customer.

Apparently Netflix is banking on lots of people like us who see no viable alternative on the market that offers what they offer. For us, it's certainly true.

Yeah. That's about where we are. I don't want to watch streaming movies on my laptop, and I don't want to buy another box. Makes me sad and we haven't decided what we'll do yet.

There's something to be said about watching movies on the laptop with headphones. The headphones block out distractions and the laptop being so much closer then the tv does the same. Comfy chair with a rolling desk for it and ta-da - my own personal theater.

Or on the go... when I was employed I used to watch movies or tv this way on my lunch break. It was a great way take my mind totally off work and nice when I didn't have a good book I was reading.

I am going back to work today. Boo hoo!
