Apple TV

I've been using Netflix for years. One of the perks is that I can stream movies, but only my new Mac mini computer upstairs was new enough to run them. I've been wanting to find a way to watch them downstairs. Most friends commented that I should get a PS3 gaming system, but strangely enough I don't get into video games that much. If I had one, it might change, but I tend to be happy with the App games on my iPhone.

So today, after getting awake and messing around the house for a bit, I drove up to the Apple Store. I LOVE the Apple Store. However, it's a dangerous thing as a lot of my Mac stuff is getting old. My iPhone is a 3G. My laptop is an iBook G4. And I dream of iPad. My credit cards have little to no balances. See... dangerous.

At 10:30 AM, the store was flooded. "WTF!!?" I thought. With the help of a cute daddy bear named Steve, I found the Apple TV unit. It's not much bigger than my iPhone. After drooling over several other i-Products, I managed to exit with my savings account intact with my Apple TV in tow.

The set-up was amazingly easy and it works like a dream. I didn't realize I could see my Flickr on there, but it's just too fun. Now I get to figure out what movies I want to watch. My instant queue is pretty full.

Yeah, I'm geeking out.
