Pretty disheartened as its been announced that Young Justice (Invasion) will be canceled after this 'season'.  After the prolonged layoff and mixed scheduling, this show still is outstanding and its a real shame it will not continue longer. The business reasoning behind this decision baffles me as creatively this show and its execution have been great.
Disappointed.

As of late have been messing a lot with XBMC.
Migrating to a new virtualized MySQL server for a centralized / networked library from its previous location, with MUCH improved performance!
Trying to get wireless to work, few functionality with Remotes, in particular with subtitles features, and Apple's AirPlay protocol.
Evaluating RASPbmc, OpenElec, XBMCbuntu, and considering PLEX on my Acer Revo and Raspberry Pi devices.
Mixed results thus far...

TDKR: Christopher Nolan pulls off the PRESTIGE with TDKR.

Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts. The first part is called "The Pledge". The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn't. 
-----Batman Begins
The second act is called "The Turn". The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn't clap yet. Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. 
-----The Dark Knight
That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call "The Prestige"." 
-----The Dark Knight Returns

Far from flawless, inferior to TDK, but it stands ok on its own and as the capper to the Dark Knight Trilogy its pretty grand. 
Most grievances remain, Bales Batman voice is unchanged and awful, the suit / cowl are a bit strange, the romances are tad forced.
Bane is a tough swallow, his mask is atrocious and his voice with the treble cranked through the roof is ghastly.
What works almost astonishingly well is Catwoman aka Selina Kyle. 
A kinetic ride to the end.
PS: The Man of Steel teaser...underwhelming

Young Justice has been superb as well. I'm not sure why they continually demand renaming the show after a couple of seasons to just throw off DVRs apparently and make it more frustratingly annoying for anyway to find the ever changing chaotic schedules, particularly kids.
Regardless this shows superb. The voice acting continues DC Animated renowned voice casting from Bruce Timm's TIMMverse of animated shows since Batman TAS in the 90s. The animation is great and this show looks terrific in HD.  There has been a ever persistent and evolving story arch from the first episode and culminated into a big season finale that time jumped the next season and spurred the name change upon season 2. Since season 2 the intensity is ratcheted up even more with characters dealing with much more significant consequences and decisions.

This show continues to improve with each episode.  Not sure if it would be considered a sequel or spinoff from the precursor series Avatar: The Last Airbender...but its everything great about that show and enhanced.  The voice work is staunch and while inspired from the previous series it doesn't dwell or rely on it, but stands very well on its own.  Previous fans will love the nods to the history but ultimately unnecessary to new viewers. The animation is much better and there is levity for the younger kids but richer storylines for the older kids.  Over arching story that transcends each episode.

Finally got my slice of Raspberry Pi

Pretty cool and as promised invoiced / shipped affordably.It is indeed very very small the packaging could quite simply be mistaken for a box of playing cards.It does indeed ship w/ no manual/instructions of any kinda just this PCB.Powered via a std microUSB cable.I also tried to boot via USB stick into XBMCbuntu but was unable.There is a SD housing that does seem bootable.Had initial issues loading XBMC until I realized XBMCbuntu was not just supported. OpenElec has announced support for their port of XBMC but has yet released an image to general population. Found Raspbmc variant and it did boot albeit a string of Linux stuff I didn't understand to know if some errors were important or not.  Unable to get any audio no matter if changing to analog / hdmi or any other combination I tried. (In fairness didn't have the opportunity to test fully).The initial image from raspbmc would not fully install and found a beta image via an obscure FB post on their page.  Subsequently they have a new RC2 out I will endeavor to try.The performance left some to be desired but the Raspberry Pi is new and so are these ports so I'm hopefully it really can stand up to delivering 1080p video and its not a HW limitation. Also I the NIC on the Raspberry PI is only 10/100 so concern there w/ large file sizes / bandwidth but I think I had media center connected to a 10/100 switch before w/o issue. 

I do think its a bit odd how some of the ports are flush w/ the board and some aren't and also of varying degrees to each other. And the ports are all over so thicker cables and add leverage to the board pulling it in different directions since there is no weight to it. I'm not a developer but the tinkering aspects still intrigue me but ultimately if this can be a legit stand up media center I'll be very pleased...otherwise I have no immediate ideas on how I will personally put it to use quite yet, since I'm a Linux novice that seems like the most applicable way to go to have the least overhead on something such as this.

UPDATE: RC2 is drastic improvement, after being provided to gen pop. I think possibly still some errors but silent/unattended install and much much faster than previous.  Sound working out of the box now, even DTS audio.  Still some choppiness w/ playback of 1080p hopefully further refinement will help and not HW. Looking much more promising though. Good job Raspbmc.

Going to try to develop a case. Thinking HDPE foam, plexiglass/plastic, machined aluminum or LEGOs. 

UPDATE 2: RC3 Released 6.20.2012One click download / installer disk creation
Instant boot load. Good feedback GUI. Silent / unattended install. Plug / play out of box. 1080p improved as promised no lag thus far. Couldn't recognize my usb wifi dongle that openelec did, that would be terrific. Outstanding work, much thanks.

UPDATE 3: Frustrated as my main machine is running base Eden11 while the Raspberry Pi is running a nightly build variant and thus uses a new schema to the centralized mySQL media library for those whom have it setup. Thus to utilize the mySQL library all connected devices MUST be on the same code level. Frustrated how XBMC is handling these database schema changes and how flawed the migration path is.

Nice form factor / size. Several extra features u can't easily get w/ comparable products.
I've had the trackball media center themed remotes and the balls are too loose that it errantly affects cursor movement.
Trackpad alleviates that.
L and R mouse buttons. Yes thanks.
Full Function Keys to F12 which helps get into BIOS and other system.
Embedded sensor housing? Nice touch.
Rechargable by standard USB port ? why thank you.
MULTI TOUCH trackpad? Really?? thanks.
Even a red laser pointer albeit not sure why, except maybe if you want to torment a pet cat? It works so I'll not complain of it.
For newest media centers and when you want to TYPE to search or browse this is a great complement to have for those wanting for Media Centers or just a handy portable keyboard to have around in a pinch for the price. 

Admittedly I'm not an avid reader. I can't recall the last book I read, but it would have had to be in the last 7 years, and likely a Michael Crichton novel or perhaps Matt Reilly's The Contest.
I'm a reader that when I get interested I can't put it down however. 
As a technology enthusiast I've long been intruiged by the Amazon Kindle. I always thought I wonder if more convenient would I, a rabid tv/movie fan, actually READ?
Those whom know me, know I use my 'stuff' extensively / exhaustively. Would this be something I procured then subseqently never used? I would hope not. However being hardened through several versions and priced at a deal I couldn't pass up, I bit the bullet and picked one up.  Its TERRIFIC. 
As a previous owner of an original Apple iPad and a HP firesale TouchPad.  I refuse to read on a backlit screen as its clearly irritating to my eyes.
The contrast on these is terrific. I literraly sat on my portable hammock this weekend and read in broad daylight. The latest Kindle firmware update was painless and effortless to load and even improved the contrast/font a bit.  With Calibre a freeware (portable app available) you can even load RSS feeds to convert and auto send to Kindle and convert other files for viewing.
An ancillary use case I see for this is loading all your manuals, for easy access. Your TV manual, computer manuals,....etc all preloaded here for easy acess when you need and handy when actually using / fixing something.
The weight (balance) are great, in the hand to read and it fits a rear jeans pocket easily. A great impulse buy. Read a 1 1/2 books on a single charge with a SLOW reader. Not since the Nintendo DS have I been so pleased with battery life. Totally reminds me of being inspired by PADDs by Star Trek.
I traveled abroad about 9 months ago and am kicking myself I didn't have this for the 14+ and 6+ hour flights!

Recently I've been late to the game and gotten hooked on the Food Network and also trying to learn how to cook some more.
Got this new chefs knife and its terrific. Affordably priced and well reviewed with lifetime warranty. Victorinox 40520 Fibrox 8-Inch Chef's Knife
