tcolton just pointed out two things I was totally unaware of:2pac's second posthumous 2-disc release is out. And Todd's uploading it to me. (if he's actually dead, the money's just going to the RIAA anyway, so I can't feel guilty about pirating it)
And finally, a Tivo-clone and more that doesn't suck: http://www.mythtv.org/ It actually looks like everything I've ever wanted. Time to ditch Tivo and its month service fee? I'm leaning towards yes. Especially since Tivo keeps pushing software upgrades to the damn box that I don't want... things that only make the service worse. And this way I'd have to source to extend and do rad things with.
