It was a day of mixed emotions.

My PS3 came today, and it’s currently set up in our media center and playing a Blu-Ray movie (which looks…pretty similar from the couch).  It took a while to download the latest update and set up my online persona, but it was all worth it when my avatar was able to dance the running man in a virtual park and a random stranger joined me in tandem.  That’s the future, friends.

On the flip side, the DVR is going.  The new TV card is working finely, but after installing both Vista Media Center and MythTV, I think I may go with Vista for a while.  The added bonus of being able to easily watch Hulu on the TV is too good to pass up.  Still, it’s been longer than I expected and the machine still isn’t quite up to par.

It’s been a tiring day.  So here I leave you, dear reader.  Until tomorrow, when I hope to be in strictly positive spirits instead of the ambivalence with which I type these words today.
