Awesome! đź‘Ť

My boys have my original 1978 Kenner X-Wing Fighter w/ Pilot. The red light still works!

I have no idea what they did with it. I haven't seen it in years. I've asked several times, "Where's MY X-Wing Fighter?!" :indiff:

That brings back memories..... Seems when I discovered fire and explosive materials, my Starwars collection along with my GI-Joe and Transformers were the first to go... :(

Oh and, picked up one of these for upstairs...mainly for the Blu-Ray player. Got a deal, $200 for the 80gb version, no special bundle from Sony Style. Sony Card was running a special, spend $349 or more at Sony Style and get a $200 statement credit. I couldn't pass it it. I haven't taken delivery yet, nor have I seen the credit so hopefully it's totally legit. :)

We were at Toys R' Us for some Pokemon thing for my brother and sister, and I spotted this. Being something like a eighth of the way through Disgaea (despite playing for 20 hours) and already completely smitten, I snatched it up without
really even knowing anything about it.
 
I'm planning on a leather one with red stitching later this summer. đź‘Ť

those will last you better in the long run. I would have gone with that too if I drove the car often since the suede gets matted down after a good amount of use and starts to look not as nice. The leather will always look good unless it dries out and starts to crack but I doubt that will ever be a problem. But given my situation I just wanted it to match the interior with the alcantara seats in the back and everything.

I think my roommate and I are going to finish up right at the same time with our cars. He's got a turbo ITR as well and he's tuned this week and painted next month, that's right about my schedule too. Just a matter of who's faster now. I'll make more power but he's braver/crazier than I am :)
 
The cat probably cost more over a lifetime though. So hows all that stuff going to work together? I see a router, a HDD, an HD media player, and a nondescript tivo box.

Well the TiVo hooks up to my TV so we can record in HD.
The TiVo wireless adapter hooks up to the TiVo so I can get the EPG. I could have connected the TiVo directly to my ADSL modem but that would mean moving the modem to be next to the TV or rewiring the network cabling to go into my bedroom which is where the modem is currently. Spending $60 on an adapter seemed like an easier option.
The the 1TB hard drive will hook up to my PC so I won't run out of room anymore and it also hooks up to the media player which in turn hooks up to the TV so I can watch stuff that's on my PC on the TV instead of having to burn to DVD and watch on via my DVD player.

The cat will probably try sleeping on all of the above.

Ah, clever. Was this recommended as a setup? Or just something you thought up?

The media player and hard drive were recommended by a friend.

The TiVo was just something we wanted and one of our TV Chanels is starting its new HD chanel in time for the Australian Grand Prix I thought it was a good time to buy.

I didn't have to buy everything all at once but if I spend over $1000 on my credit card in one sale I can have the purchase put on the account at .99% for 3 months. I will then put the $900 from KRudds stimulus package on my homeloan for that period of time which is more beneficial to me.
 
Hopefully with this I can install games to the HDD and maybe the 360 will survive a little longer. Should be here by tomorrow or friday.

New phone. Mine's actually a T-Mobile MDA Vario 4, which is a branded HTC Touch Pro:

I've managed to download files for it that remove all the T-Mobile pinkness, and reset the cool HTC black interface.

How's Windows Mobile?

I've been considering a new phone for a little while, now. The Touch Pro is on my shortlist along with an LG and a couple Samsungs.
