So the TiVo is hooked up and the old Motorola box is long gone. Holy crap has the TiVo already made a difference. I didn’t realize it but we really liked the suggestion feature. I’ve already watched like 3 shows I never would have known about and I am now recording one of them.
I [...]

So after the exhilarating previous test drive and my want to test out the SMG version of the 5 series, We had some time to kill before the Pampered Chef party so we headed back to BMW of Sterling to check it out.
The first thing that you notice when behind the wheel of the [...]

I specifically wanted BMW to be the last of all the dealerships. The reasoning was that, I knew I was going to like anything I test drove. I wanted to give the other car companies a fighting chance to win me over. And unless you’ve only been reading every fifth word of these reviews you’ll [...]

Next up in the trek around the car landscape was Land Rover. This was really the only shot I was going to give an SUV in trying to win my graces. I mean seriously, just look at it. This vehicle is quite a looker, not as drop dead gorgeous as the AM V8 but still [...]

Wow, I’ve been busy these past few days. I’ve not had time to put up the last few reviews here.
Next up was a trip to HBL Audi. This, I thought, was going to be a one car stop like the Caddy dealership. Jessi has been sexed on the A3 (the station wagon) since she [...]

So the official release date and price are out on the Wii. Am I suprised? Not really, they said it wouldn’t be more then $250US and it’s not. Depending on the time of day it is, it will also be packed with a game (Wii Sports) or it won’t be.
What I don’t like is the [...]

So next up in the car shuffle was Cadillac. This trip would probably end up being the shortest of all since there was only one car I wanted to test. The CTS-V.
When we first walked into Moore Cadillac we got approached by no one. I mean not a single soul. It was until we [...]

So the first stop on my new car escapade was the Infiniti dealership. Why Infiniti? Well because the requirement I’m looking for is a sporty vehicle that I can carry stuff in. Not so much an SUV but something a bit bigger then the bimmer and 4 doors.
So since I’ve been mildly interested in [...]

So Apple’s big media event happened yesterday. At this event we got introduced to an updated iPod, a rev’d iPod Nano and a rev’d iPod Shuffle. Along with hardware announcements there was also the expected update to iTunes and the new iTunes Movie store.
First up, hardware. Unlike Mr. Gruber, I’m not a fan of [...]

So I’ve gotten the go ahead to start investigating replacing the aging bimmer. So this week starts the great trek of car test driving and possible negotiations.
I’ll be reviewing each driving experience here. Hopefully in the next few weeks I can come to one of two decisions, which car I will be getting or [...]

 So it’s out and I ordered one. While not a “light” purchase, the ease of use of this device far out weighs the cost. The time saved by being able to actually not have to worry about my DVR is worth the cost.
Everything about this box is worth it. I can’t wait until I [...]

I guess I was so locked up with WLW Plugin stuff last week that I missed some big stories. First off, I guess by now everyone has seen Jessi’s post about the new chairs. They are fantastic, the first movie we watched was Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I really recommend this flick if your [...]
