My interest was sparked by Dom's blogging on Ubuntu and Gaming. I've also heard a lot of buzz during the PS3's launch late last year about Ubuntu diehards wanting to run it on the console. Good to know there's another facet to the game gear and Ubuntu love affair:

Proudest Monkey ... Driving

Earlier this afternoon, I had finally transferred MP3's I had ripped from my wife's Dave Matthew's Band CDs. I put several tracks on my phone so I could listen to them while I commute or drive to work. Most of the tracks I picked were from Crash.

I found myself driving to work some 20 minutes ago and this cold breeze was cutting through the thick humid air. It was so refreshing! Then Proudest Monkey started coming out of my player's earbuds. The melodic tune, the cool cool breeze... It was relaxing, to say the least. I was lulled back into reality when a car behind me honked rather rudely and swerved to my left and passed me. I didn't notice I was driving 40 km/h, way below the minimum 60 per hour in that part of Clark. Oh, well... DMB still rocks! :-) All the cars in the world could pass me by and I wouldn't mind at all.

Plain cool...

Who says you can't be geeky and cool at the same time?

D-I-Y Media Center

I'm itching for another device. The Mediagate MG-35. Three reviews after I see an ad and I'm convinced this would make a great media device for my home. I've been wrestling with storage lately, as three years worth of burned media is starting to pile up. I already have three large CD wallets stealing closet space from my wardrobe. I just bought a fourth one from CDR-King. I'm having second thoughts about storing my music and movies on my PC, since I usually reformat my hard drive regularly. My first thought was to get a NAS, and that idea I've given up on. It would be extra handy if I could carry my storage device around.

Then I see an ad in PC Buyer's Guide for the Mediagate MG-35 and the idea grows on me. I can solve several problems with one device. It's small enough to lug around. It connects to PCs for managing media. It doesn't require MS-Windows to manage that content :-)) It can connect to your LAN, you can use it as network storage (NAS). It can play movies or music on it's own and supports the main plethora of codecs you'll need, including Ogg Vorbis, Divx and Xvid. Its outputs can connect to your TV or stereo. It supports (at max) a 500GB hard drive. This is one flexible device. I want it! There is the question of money, though. Haha... It's a bit too expensive for my means. So I'll have to be content with writing about it and why I want it.

BTW, here are the reviews that I read:
