The Convergence Has Begun

Posted Friday, July 11th, 2008 at 7:23 am

Finally technology has begun to converge in the way we’ve been promised for the last 20 years.

I don’t watch a lot of tv these days. My evenings are usually spent with the family or online. I have a Tivo that catches the few shows I do watch though, so I’m not a slave to the tv schedule. Unfortunately, I’ve found that the Tivo allows me to procrastinate, and I’ve still got unwatched episodes of shows from last Fall. However, I’ve finally figured out a solution.

I shelled out the $25 to buy the Tivo desktop “pro” software, which lets me pull episodes off my Tivo onto the PC and convert them for play on my iPhone. Now I can get caught up by watching some of my shows during some of my workouts at the gym!

Oh, and I have the iPhone 2.0 update, but I haven’t had a chance to play with it much yet. Even for my non-GPS enabled phone, the map pinpointing has improved.

Flametoad is the personal website for Preston DuBose, a full-time e-commerce and credit card security professional for the higher-education market, a part-time RPG publisher, and a full-time husband and father.

I ignore conventional blogging wisdom and refuse to focus on a single topic. This website covers gaming, family life, marketing, security, literature, music, and just about anything else shiny that catches my eye.

I get a small thrill every time someone bothers to respond to one of my posts. I get a big thrill when you post naked pictures of yourself. Well, not YOU.
