@Andrew.Barge: After much searching (and considering/bagging the iTouch approach), I just ordered one of these a few days ago. Should be here today, actually. Any advice/hints/tips for it? I can't wait to try it.

@thewillum: What about an external video card, something like this? [www.tigerdirect.com]

@orderfromchaos: Your failure to meet your chocolate goal was probably influenced by my success in meeting chocolate goal enough for two or more people. Maybe you're using the wrong chocolate?

I wasn't going to post this, but seeing as there are lots of humans owned by kitties on this site (cool blender trick!), I thought maybe some lifehackers would have useful ideas. My kitty was just diagnosed with early kidney problems, so my question is if anyone else out there has had to deal with this, what did you…

@okwhen: Wholly Assumptions, Batman!

@icecreamman: Wow, Thanks icecreamman! Lots to think about! Yeah, I miss the "old days" of RTV—DVArchive—Archos for watching soaps on the road ;) I'm going to check out the Happauge/gb-PVR setup now! Sounds promising!

@okwhen: If your objective is to convince people to DO SOMETHING, then it's up to you to provide a reason to do it. You provided no such reason, you merely provided a link to an article that says that cast iron is OK, while your contradictory premise is that cast iron is poison. This isn't about Teflon and DuPont…

@camneil01: If you download the Evernote app and synchronize, you can access your notes locally. (Not sure if this is true for the iPhone version.)

@okwhen: "This is to inform people IMO how nasty and toxic using a cast-iron skillet."

@Andrew: me too (the old one, not the one pictured above)

@Wolfkstaag: Yes, I just downloaded it today, and for sure the content part is working :) but how do I get my subscribed queue? There's noplace to enter my username/password. hm.

@icecreamman: Thanks for the info, yeah, I figured it wouldn't be free forever, but at least I can take advantage of it for a while.

@digitmint: Okay, that sounds cool, fool the fool! But I guess my question is how do I get my Hulu queue inside Boxee? When I do PlayOn, my queue is available to me.

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: Canceled Cable on Monday! Woo hoo! First one down, now on to the 2nd....

I'm trying to relax in this week's open thread, but I can't seem to figure this out: Is Hulu available in Boxee, and if so, how? Is it available in XBMC? Either one will do...I just can't seem to find a definitive answer, or a definitive how to, since it's been on and off so many times. Any insight would be…

@y0himba: +1 on the HTC Touch Pro 2! I love my TP2, and it doesn't cost nearly what those phones above cost! And I can customize it all I want. (I'm in the US.)

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: Probably not helpful but certainly worth reading: [baselinescenario.com]

@Nick Randall: What format is the original video file and what format do you want it to come out as?

@sjkeegs: I tried it just yesterday. They flat out refused. When I compared rates, they said if I wanted those rates, I'd have to be a new customer.

@TheFu: OTA broadcast works, but not well :( I'm working on improving reception for that approach as well, but it's taking more time than I'd like. I really need to dump Comcast sooner.
