I decided I'm tired of running up and down with burned cds and dvds. I decided I "need" my next toy to be a networked media player so I can access movies, music, photos in my computer from the comfort of my living room.

So far I've heard some good reviews of:
- AVeL LinkPlayer2

Thanks Hico for telling me about this piece.

Some of them are one-time jobs that may take a few hours, others may be steady part time with seasonal peaks and valleys.
Some must be done at our location, some you can do at your own place and deliver when completed. Some ( Read more... )

I just received today a shipment of wigs in new styles, dreads, locks and strips. All in incredible fantasy colors.

Last night there was nothing to watch, so I grabbed a copy of the 2005 version of The Producers.
