…because it was net $100 on Amazon and, after some network finagling, we’ll be able to use it as an extender in the bedroom, where we can watch streaming Netflix or recorded DVR programs.

I know, I know, two?  Really?  It was easier to convince ourselves that this wasn’t a silly idea if we think of the machine in the bedroom as more of a DVR extender/internet streaming computer than another game console.  Lord knows we have enough game consoles under this roof already.

Also, we’re flying to Seattle tomorrow to celebrate the birthdays of Katie’s siblings using part of our Day in the Cloud reward pack.  I’ll even take along our prize netbook to use some free in-flight wifi.

We may have some free time in Seattle (or we may not), so if you’re a Seattlite (Seattlean?  Seattler?) and really want to see us, drop me an email or tweet or Facebook message and I’ll see what our plans are once we get up there.  We’ll only be there until Sunday afternoon, so it’s a pretty short trip.
