I know that most of my readers are not technically inclined. So, I will try to explain things as simple as I can. I have just built a Home Theatre PC (HTPC) prototype at home. My purpose for doing so is to get some performance numbers so that I will know what resources I'll need to design and build my final HTPC. The prototype HTPC is using a small ...

Okay, it's been a while since I stopped writing temporarily. I think that I the short hiatus from blogging was a good one. I can now return to writing about totally random and impersonal stuff like I used to. So, I think that I will kick things off by talking about recent developments on the aeMB processor.

I've been investigating different combinations of devices for building a Home Theatre PC (HTPC). This will be one of the first things that I build when I get home. My main considerations when building a HTPC is the WAF (Woman Acceptance Factor) factor and future proofing the machine. The WAF factor can be broken down into: Silent machine so that it doesn't make a din while it runs. Aesthetically pleasing ...

Man, this is a machine that is aiming straight for my heart! Ignoring for a moment, the blatantly cheesy name "Eee Monitor", it is still a svelte and sexy machine. Photos of it are just making the rounds around the Internet. It's not just a monitor, but carries a full blown PC inside it. Plus, it will come standard with Linux for under $500!
