With the holiday vacation, I decided to see just how far the industry has come in the last five years for home media solutions. I have a Windows Home Server from HP. I figure between the WHS and Windows 7 I should be able to have a media cornucopia on tap at all times.

During a recent upgrade of Typepad my site became sort of hosed. It is not really Typepads fault. During my effort to clean up my changes I discovered a tool for highlighting the code in my blog.
