Its gotta be the tip that brought me to lifehacker. XBMC! and build your own Media center computer.

I would suggest grabbing a cheap computer to put MythTV backend on. You don't need much power here, so you could probably hack together enough processing power with a Raspberry Pi. If you want something that is more expandable and has more common components in it, there are some well priced "Next Unit Of Computing"…

I'm a VERY happy user of a linux XBMC set up with a HDHomeRun networked 3-tuner and Cable Card from Comcast. I use MythTv as a backend and the MythTV PVR plugin for XBMC. It's so solid that my wife, 6 year old, and 3 year old all use the media center in our living room as the main set up. With DLNA/UPnP the DVR…

I'm really having a hard time not immediately thinking of Haku in Spirited Away.

Chromecast. Bar none.

Cowboy Bebop. It's been a while. Somehow I don't like the other shows the creator has done.

Now I just want Pie.

We're also a non-religious family, but I tend to think of Christmas as a holiday with religious origins that is now secular and for everyone. So if non-Pagans can celebrate Halloween, non-Christians can have all the Christmas they want.

This story about Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers" being a satire is just a cover for the fact that he made a shitty movie about giant bugs who fart white-hot plasma into space with the pinpoint precision necessary to hit asteroids and send them hurtling — at trans-relativistic speeds! — to land on top of Earth cities.
