A female Parma Wallaby (Macropus parma) and its joey. This wallaby species is the smallest member of the genus Macropus, at between 3.2 and 5.8 kilograms (7.1 and 13 lb) and about 50 centimetres (1.6 ft) in length. It was believed to be extinct before the end of the 19th century, but a population was found on Kawau Island in 1965, and two years later another population was found in the forests near Gosford, New South Wales. They are now classified as Near Threatened. Photo credit: Benjamint444 |

Ive finally been welcomed into 2005. I, at long last, purchased an Xbox 360. Walmart had a crazy door buster deal where you get an Arcade version for $200 with a $100 online gift card. Turns out they simply gave me a normal gift card, so even better.
I dont play console games though really, this purchase is for the media extender and the handful of games I might dabble with (Skate 2 for example). My PS2, I only played 6 or 7 games on it. As this is the case, I dont need all the fancy accessories that most people get. What I am debating, however, is the hdd for it. Are the TV downloads and netflix rentals worth getting the hard drive for if I can just as easily do it on my PC and media extend it to my 360? Same goes for my music and movie collection. If I really MUST have something on my 360, I can just as easily use one of my external hard drives. If I can go without getting the hdd, I would prefer doing that. Anyone able to bring up a compelling reason to get the hdd for it?
I do plan to get the N wireless adapter when it comes out. Is there anything else that is absolutely essential or life changing for this thing? Anything that could turn it into a DVR (now THAT would be a reason to slap a hdd on it), I dont see how as it has no coaxial input, but theres smart people out there, maybe they found a way.
Ultimately, I cant do much with it until I get a TV. That will probably be next weekend. Im looking to get a smallish TV thatll be put in the guest room when I have the money to dedicate to my main TV. Right now the best Ive found is at best buy, a $320 32" 720p set. My friend has it and absolutely loves it. Anyone know of a better deal? Using the 360 giftcard at Walmart only starts to put me into the same spec range as that one TV at Best Buy, so Id rather go to Best Buy and keep my gift card.
Thats the next thing, what to do with my gift card. If someone can convince me the hdd is vital to full functionality, I would get that. Otherwise, I am looking at either getting my mom and step-dads wedding/xmas gift (digital picture frame) thats exactly $100 or getting something for myself. Right now Im strongly leaning to the gift.
Im also looking for help with something on my computer. I made the upgrade to Windows 7 a bit ago. Great move, totally worth it, but Im having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to get my motherboards on-board wireless to go into access point mode. I have an ASUS P5K-delux WIFI motherboard so it has a built in wifi which can be used as a router access point to share files/internet. In Vista I did this with a program that came with the motherboard. The program made it easy to go from wireless card to access point and back. The software disk does not even open in W7 and the ASUS web site has nothing for it for W7 or Vista even. Software like that usually just "skins" the functionality already stuffed into the operating system. The drivers are all working fine, I can see all the other wireless routers on my block, I just cant turn my on-board wifi into a router access point. Surely there is a W7 setting somewhere thatll let me change its operation to an access point. Ive looked all over and I cant find anything on here or on Google. If anyone has any idea, Id be very thankful.

The Old World Swallowtail (Papilio machaon) is a butterfly throughout the Palearctic region in Europe and Asia, as well as North America, and thus is not restricted to the Old World, despite the common name. It is yellow with black wing and vein markings and a wingspan of 8 to 10 centimetres (3.1 to 3.9 in). The hind wings have a pair of protruding tails, similar to a swallow.

"For every Pandaren Monk that finds its way to a player’s side between now and the end of the year (December 31, 2009 at 11:59 PDT), we’ll donate 50 percent of the $10 purchasing price to the Make-a-Wish Foundation in an effort to brew up a little hope, strength, and joy in a child’s life."
STICK THAT IN YOUR BLOWHOLE AND SMOKE IT.

The other day, for work, I basically got to see a giant potato gun going off a big steep mountain side. Then I got to hike down the mountain and hike through the desert looking for what we were shooting. How many jobs do cool shit like that?!
I have some [bad] pictures of my [temporarily] completed living room. Havent gotten around to installing Photoshop yet so the pics are terrible, but they give you an idea.

The 38th painting in the seventh volume of the Hamzanama, an illustrated story of the fantastic exploits of Amir Hamza, the uncle of the prophet of Islam, Muhammad. Commissioned by the Mughal emperor Akbar the Great in the late 16th century, it depicts a scene from the Battle of Mazandaran, in which the protagonists Khwajah 'Umar and Hamza and their armies engage in fierce battle. The faces seen here were repainted some time after having been erased at one point by iconoclasts. The entire work consists of 1,400 folios, with the painting on the recto side and text written in Nastaʿlīq script narrating the story on the verso. Artist: Unknown |
