Just a quick blog post of nothingness.

I haven't really updated this blog, or any of my others, for some time now. I really should be more diligent with the blogging, but it seems that I am always busy with one thing or the other.

The main point of this post to to see if Google has managed, yet, to form some sort of integration between Blogger and the new Google+. More specifically if they have initiated an easy way to share a new blog post on the Google+ service. I'm sure that it would be fairly simple (what do I know, I'm not a programmer) to add sharing options to the publishing options in Blogger.

Anyway, that's the extent of my post for now as I investigate this.

Until next time...

Well, I'm finally going to write up part 2 of my review. This will focus on connecting the Roku and going through the initial setup procedure.

Review: Roku XD digital video player (Part 1)



It's finally here. My 5 year old daughter informed me that she heard the doorbell while I was in the shower. She said that no one was there, and she didn't see a package, but she had seen the UPS truck. Yay for Brown. I went to the front door, opened it, and retrieved the small package that was leaning against the door. No wonder she didn't see a package, it was small.

Anyway this is my initial review on the Roku XD digital video player, henceforth Roku or player. If you are at least partially interested in this device, please read on "This is gonna be fun."

Waiting on a Roku, had to write something.

What is a Roku? Yes, that is a very good question. In fact it's a question that I would have had a couple months ago.

At the beginning of December I entered myself into a sweepstakes to win a Roku player and a year of Hulu Plus service. I didn't win. Despite this I was extremely intrigued by the product, to the point that we have ordered one and it will be arriving this week.
