Review: CSI 11x04 Sqweegel

The latest episode of CSI is still sitting in my head. Looks like they have set up the serial killer for the season.

And I'm intrigued, my head is looking at all the angles, like how does Sqweegel choose his victims? Does he already know they have something to hide, and how would that link the victims. Or does he just choose some random publicized do-gooder, stalks them and then inevitably finds their hypocrisy.

As for the color of his eyes, could he be wearing contact lenses? He does deliberately create a persona to terrify his victims. Stalking around in a horrific manner.

Anyway, I like it that they have gone the fun and freaky route with this seasons big bad. Though I could be wrong and this one could be all wrapped up in the next episode... We will see!

Review: The Telstra T-Box & Bigpond Movies

You know what... The Livejournal app for iPhone sucks.

Anyway, in other news, Telstra Bigpond gave me $50 credit to use with Bigpond Movies, etc, with the T-Box. So rented some movies during the weekend, which means it got a bit of testing this week.

The good: the user interface looks slick, and it's easy to use. Movie rentals download fast, they are ready to watch in just over 1 minute. And the picture quality is good, it's pretty much the same quality as DVD.

The bad: I may be too much of a power user for the device, I tend to click/scroll past selections really fast. Faster than it can load all info and related images, trailers etc on the screen. And I wonder if that might be a reason the renting feature stopped working for me after awhile, too much data in one sitting maybe. It did "error message" me on the 4-5th movie rental request. But it worked fine the next day.

More bad, but I hope only because it's early days: it's movie and tv renting library is pathetic. They don't even have the Transformers movies. And when I chose tv category "sci fi", all it had to offer was 2 seasons of Astroboy and 1 season of anime Blood.

Not so impressive yet, though it has it's tiny uses. But if at this time you want to rent with a device over the Internet I'd suggest going with the AppleTV (which has been updated and gone down in price) and use iiNet as your ISP. As the Telstra does not have the quota free download with iTunes that iiNet has, Telstra internet is only quota free with it's own Bigpond services.

Home Decorating with a scary twist

Zombie Garden decorating! FTW!

Taking an old thing out of storage...

This was a suggestion from www.unplggd.com: Vintage Cameras on Display that I thought was nifty, because I happened to have a old camera hidden away in storage... so I brought it out, and put it out there. Now, that's some character right there!

Kitchen Much Better... with colour!

The other day I rearranged the furniture in the kitchen. I think it's all so much nicer. And I brought in the 'Pink Bathroom Project' items into the kitchen. Which makes me happy, as it made me sad to have all those awesome kitch items hidden away in a box.
