The Second Roku Is The Best Roku (?)

Got a second Roku for the GF yesterday.
Again, a Roku 3, and like on the original one, mostly just for the USB port.
Nice setup, now that I have an account, even one without the hassle of the credit card, registered under the same account, and it automagically downloaded ans installed all the the same channels that I had installed on the previous one.
Nice touch, I guess.
Still have to see what can be streamed below the Tortilla Wall...

Stack'em High!

This past Monday on an Ihop around here running the all you can eat pancakes stuff...
I can't possibly believe there is someone who can actually eat more than one of these.

Bigger Is Better (And Newer)

Along with the Nexus 6, the Moto X are the only cellphones I would buy as of right now.
The Moto X is smaller (more manageable) than the Nexus 6, and also a lot cheaper.

Keep On Roku In The Free World

Got me a Roku 3 the other day, the one with a USB port.
 The idea is to use it to play all my video files, specially since my TV only has one USB port, but, alas 3 HDMI ones...
So, it is kinda nice to have a device that would play all -or most of- my video files, in case the USB port goes down, which doesn't seem too far fetched.
Two things got my immediate attention with this Roku thing, for starters, you can't even use the god damn Roku device, unless you siphon a credit card... Had to call the support people in order to get an alternative URL to register the Roku without using a credit card (alll the links to do so that I found Googling are dead...).
That seemed like a really stupid idea, but who the hell cares what I think?
The other thing, I'm totally mesmerized by the "PBS channel" (in Roku parlance) and the amazing documentaries, I hope they will work, that is, I'll be able to stream those from Argentina as well, but I wouldn't bet on it.

As American As Apple Pie

If these aren't the best apple pies in the world, then I'm not an specialist, but they certainly have to be the biggest ones I've seen.
From Costco, taken on Sunday January the 10th.
The things are amazingly heavy and delicious, just as they look.

A (New) Underwater Beauty

Last Thursday I got a new digital P&S camera to replace the trusty, ageing and totally beat up Sony DSC-W310 (which has a lethal fungus on the lens that ruins every single picture, unless taken with the maxxed zoom...).
The new one it is a Nikon Coolpix AW120, a submersible (!) camera.
Only drawback so far, haven't used it that much, is that the lens isn't covered when not in use.

Born To Run Lollipop

Played a bit with a Nexus 6 yesterday.
Simply put, amazing!
Lillipop flies on the device, this is, at least for the looks, size, OS, etc, etc, y far, the best cellphone I've seen.

Everest and Beyond!

A new pair, these aren't Keen, and they don't feel as good as the ones they made.
These are the Everest brand, got them amazingly cheap, about 10 bucks, so will see how much they last.

79 Inches Of Heaven

A monster Sony TV, UltraHD, 79" only 8000 U$S... A 3840 x 2160 magnificent beauty!
It caught my attention while window shopping yesterday.

The Museum Gift Shop

Always expensive, always tempting...
This time, the gift shop from the Pérez Museum was the perfect place to find a book (unbelievable expensive) about the work of Stephen Shore.

Retail Is Dead

Or is it
It certainly doesn't look like in South Florida.

This is what defeat looks like, bro

No internet, no cable, no phone.
Fuck you, Atlantic Cable!
(The above link will die... But basically, fuck off and wait)

Hard Disk Pr0n

Backups galore will follow!
the newest acquisition, a 2TB external drive.
Two fucking Terabytes!
Haven't formatted it to EXT4, yet.

The Keendness of your company

Got me a new pair of Keen sandals.
My first pair, that looks pretty much like this one, but blue in color, is with me since June or so; and I've been using it day in day out since the first day of heat back home.
