Moved.
We moved into the new place over the weekend. The whole thing still seems quite surreal. Things are mostly finished by now; I have some shelves to install before I can get all my gear ordered in a proper manner, and we're still waiting for some closets to be delivered.
We also got a new TV at the same time, as our old 14 inch model was simply too small for our new living room. (The distance from the couch to the TV grew.) We now have a rather nice 28 inch widescreen model, as well as a digital reciever. We opted to go digital due to the fact that we wanted to see the local Subtv channel we previously got through cable.
HTPC, anyone?
HTPCs, or Home Theater PCs, have gained a great deal of attention lately. I've wanted to build a MythTV-based box for quite some time now, but extra money and time haven't exactly been abundant, so I've been limited to reading articles about other people's projects instead. The VesperDeco HTPC is a very impressive piece of work. While not exatcly small, it's very different from anything I've seen in a long time.
If you're more into the nice-and-tiny school of thought there's the cinemediapc instead. And if you don't have time, but have pots of money, you can buy the Hush E2-MCE and have the Ferrari of HTPC's. Check out TrustedReview's review of the Hush E2-MCE for more. I've mentioned Hush Technologies before, and I still think they have some of the coolest HTPC stuff on the planet. Links partially via Slashdot.
