The Christmas decorating started a little late this year... but the Christmas tree is up and it's beautiful!

This trailer has a different ending from the other trailer, showing old Spock. It's also widescreen and available in high quality.

We got up early on Friday and got in line at Fry's at 3:30 AM for their 5:00 AM opening. As you can see from my iPhone snap, we weren't too far from the front of the line once it condensed down.Once we got in, we went straight for the Sony BDP-S305 Blu-Ray player for $178 and the Canon SD1100 Camera for $139. We also picked up a $19 digital photo frame. We got our stuff and went to the checkout

Polo the mini schnauzer got a new shirt for the holidays. It's a blue and yellow rugby style shirt. It was on sale from Polo.com -- they have a "For the Pup" section.He is so handsome!

I got up early and voted today. The wait was a little over two hours. Not too bad.The guy in front of me (not visible on this picture) talked on his phone the entire time. He was so loud and then when he got tired of holding the phone to his face, he put it on speaker! Hello, rude!I took this picture around the time the guy came by counting the first time. I was like 328th in line.

Polo, our Miniature Schnauzer, got groomed today. He is always extra cute when he is freshly groomed. Miss Claire gave him a cute Halloween bandanna. She is so sweet to him and always does a great job. When Polo went in, there were two other schnauzers waiting for Miss Claire too! Precious!

OK. So LOST's season 4 has been incredible. In contrast, BSG's season 4 (which is also the last) has been very spotty to me. It's like they have an awesome episode one week followed by a lame episode. This week's episode was superb. But last week's episode was one of the all time worst. I mean as bad or worse than the horrendous "Black Market" episode. Is it a coincidence that they both

I upgraded to 16 Mbps broadband service today from Charter. I had to swap my old cable modem (which I have had for 5 years) for a new model to support the faster speeds. The speed increase is pretty nice... 3 times faster than my previous speed. (Downloading HD movie rentals from iTunes on Apple TV still sucks even with the bigger pipe. For the love of God, Apple, add some extra servers or

So this week I started a new job. I'm now a Sr. Developer at AGCO Corporation. It was difficult leaving my previous position, but I feel that the time was right to make a change. While I'll miss my former co-workers, I am very excited about my new opportunity.

So I got an Apple TV for my birthday. I got it for an awesome price. I found the last one in the clearance rack at a Sam's Club. They were selling it for $179. I took the card to a register and paid and went to the customer service desk to pick it up. They couldn't find it. They called someone over from electronics and they looked and couldn't find it. So he said they'd sell me the floor model

It snowed last night. There wasn't much left by the morning... I took the picture on my iPhone. It takes surprisingly good pictures. When the lighting is good, of course.

This year was a good Christmas as always. I had a great time and got some nice things, a nice Polo shirt, new belts, a CD and DVD... and an iPhone! Yay! So far I'm loving it. The only thing I have run into that I wish it did was send a picture via text message.

Today I played around with creating iPhone optimized versions of my Will & Grace and Star Trek web sites. It was actually pretty easy. I used the iUI project for the UI and I think they turned out pretty good and they should work well on the iPhone or iPod touch. The main Star Trek web page will redirect you to the iPhone version if it detects mobile Safari. http://durfee.net/will/iphone http:/

Polo had his picture taken with Santa at the humane society last weekend. He was a good boy and Santa was so sweet to him.

I took the Typequick.com online typing test. I type 76.5 words per minute. Thank you for doing Typequick's Online Typing Test. You have done well to type above 45 wpm. At this speed you would most probably be typing with all your fingers and not looking at the keys. If you know that you aren't using the correct techniques it is never too late to change. YOUR RESULTS ARE: Number of words typed:

I received the Moxi DVR 4.1 software upgrade this week from Charter. There are so many improvements. First of all, performance is noticably faster. Navigating the menus is faster, scrolling is faster, response time is faster, searching is faster. There are also a lot of small UI improvements, like subtle fading in and out, a better font, and the info banner kind of bounces when it appears or

Since TiVo Desktop doesn't work quite right with Windows Home Server, I dug into the TiVo HMO SDK and built my own Windows service that runs on WHS. It is working very well and I will likely release a beta to my site this week. The videos portion of the code needs a little more work, but it does work. The screenshot shows the Console tab and the Settings window. The software is available to
