With the tvlessness and roof falling drama came the need for a new computer. I know that none of those things sound connected, but trust me, they are.
We are satelliteless, monthly bill-less, but we now have dvr capabilities on network channels through the wonders of open source computer magic.
When checking out new computers and their prices, my tech-y hubby quipped, “I bet I could build a $1500 computer for $500.” Uh oh. I know a Parker adventure when I hear one.
He's so happy.
Hard at work.
My wired living room. Order will eventually reign again, but until then I'm patient with all the computer innards.
Sure enough, $550 later we had all kinds of boxes arrive with cool colors and blinky lights. All I know is that I can now skip through commercials on American Idol nights and watch The Middle and 30 Rock anytime I want. Really that’s all that matters. That and PBS has become my mid-day friend.
