Getting digital music into the living room

Logitec Wireless Music SystemThis little device only cost me £32 off Amazon market place and has moved my digital music from the domain of my laptop with headphones and iPod to my living room.

Finally I can play music off my server upstairs (geeks have many of these at home) and have it beamed down wirelessly to my surround sound system downstairs for everyone to listen to. Now not everyone thinks sharing my music collection with the rest of the house is a great idea but thats for another blog posting. 

The device in question is a Logitech Wireless Music System. One end of this device(the transmitter) is attached to the source of the sound (such as your computer) the other is (shown in the picture) is plugged into your sound system be it a stero, surround sound system or simple speakers. The transmitter is so small and compact it can even be plugged directly into your iPod. In a future blog post I will show you how to remotely control iTunes from a website created in ASP.NET 2.0.

USB Powered Rocket Launcher

USB Rocket LauncherIntroducing one of my favourite USB powered devices the USB powered Rocket Launcher!

I have had countless amounts of fun with this little device especially when using my webcams at home to take targets shot at the wife over terminal services!

However the USB powered rocket launcher has a number one enemy introducing "felis moggy" or better know as the comon household moggy!

 

 

Willow! The destroyer of all electical devices including USB powered rocket launchers

Willow

This is one of four of our cats and the second most evil cat in the pride. Destroyer of all furniture and thief of any unattended ham!

I know what you must be thinking, why not shoot Willow with the USB powered rocket launcher? The truth is I have never been able to target willow with the launcher she knows how it sounds and at many times when I have shot a rocket from this launcher she has intercepted it mid air! She seems to relish it being on and treats it like some sort of sport catching the rockets as they are launched....urrrghhhh!

My wife has started blogging

I set my wife up with a blog quite some time ago, but its only recently she got the blogging bug and has started to blog brought about probably by speaking to some of my friends who did it every day. My wife was quite intersted in informing people who may be interested in Laser eye surgery about her experience with it and all the things you shoudld expect. I went with her when she had her lazer eye surgery and I must say there were some uncertain moments on my part, I wasn't at all happy that she was having both eyes done at the same time. But at the end it all worked out in the end, please remeber if you are accompaniyng someone who has lazer eye surgery that they will completely rely on you in getting them home they will have next to no vision because of the bright light outside until the their eyes have come around. Anyway read the article if you are interested in having lazer eye surgery.

My First Blog Entry

Hi!

I'm not new to the blogging community, I've been blogging every now and again on my work blog however I felt the need for a blog that wasn't very closely coupled to work related subjects. If you can understand its a bit odd blogging about sky diving on a work related blog if it has nothing to do with your line of work, not that I go sky diving I just thought I would mention it to make my out of work activities sound cool!
