Program my TiVo
This is the most badass TiVo project ever. Andrew's RSSTV project is growing by leaps and bounds.

I’ve got a wireless Router now (complete with $30 rebate), but I’m having a devil of a time getting it set up properly. Basically, I want to be able to plug my Windows box, my Linux box, and my TiVo into it and still be able to map to/from Shared Folders from my office downstairs on the same building network.

Disappointments
I learned that my furniture order from IKEA was not supposed to come last Friday after all. It won’t be delivered for another 2 or 3 weeks. WTF!? I don’t think I ordered anything they wouldn’t have in stock at the IKEA in NJ…
Second, I bought a new Sony Clie TJ-37 yesterday (they’re not supposed to come out until March, but Circuit City started selling them early). I’m psyched about having a color screen, built-in camera, and WiFi access. The only problem is the WiFi node by my office was disabled due to security concerns. D’oh!
So, I want to set up a wireless access point in my apartment. We have 10/100 Ethernet jacks in the building (and I have a spare port). What exactly do I need to buy?

John Ashcroft's Patriot Games
I don't know where to even begin commenting about this incredibly disturbing article about the Attorney General.

Perpetual Anticipation
Forget Chris Parnell, I saw a much bigger celebrity this weekend…
I had cleared my entire weekend so I could put together the furniture I had ordered from IKEA. But the furniture did not arrive as scheduled on Friday. Or Saturday. Or Sunday…
Undaunted, Jeff and I threw ourselves in a weekend of activity anyway. We watched a lot of TV, including Camp (which we picked up at J & R). And we visited the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, which is not only just a few blocks away from where I live but also free!
On Sunday, Jeff felt like seeing a show so we did a little homework and discovered that the Valhalla has Sunday night performances where all tickets are $20.
As we entered the lobby, Jeff spotted Nathan Lane in the corner (The Producers only has a Sunday matinee). Just before curtain he came and sat down right in front of me. It took everything I had in me to be a cool New Yorker and resist asking him for an autograph (we didn’t see anyone bother him all night). The play, by the way, was hilarious if a little unfocused.
