HD HTPC Video Card

This new card announced by ATI looks to be pretty cheap and has all the makings to become a very great HTPC video card. http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/407510677/

Previous cards suffered because they did not allow audio via the hdmi connection *sad times* meaning that you couldn't get (or it was SUPER HARD)HD audio to a reciever in any sane way. Now... one cable and you got HD video and audio. WEEEE.

Now if we could just get some of this cable card mess sorted out I MIGHT consider ordering cable LOL.

More lies from the Prop 1 No Campaign

Seattle Transit Blog has a good summation of a summation article in the PI about Cost to expand light rail under debate.

Rather then go into detail on why, I'll leave you to find the information on the blog posting here

It boils down to... if you are interested in seeing some REAL long term strategy for dealing with traffic in this area then Proposition 1 is the way to make that happen.

Intriguing

This type of night/light effect is intriguing to me. There are a few Sprint (I think) commercials with it, but this guy did it with a simple keychain led thingy and some time.
