Embedded YouTube playlists are working again! Yay. OK, so YouTube doesn’t suck so much, after all.
The funny and fun Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog — which, except for a needless end, I highly recommend — is back online at this link for free viewing.
I go past the Bose headquarters every day on my way to/from work, and a neighbor friend works at Bose. The Wave Music System is known for having more than its share of problems, but I bought one anyway, because it fit perfectly on the porch, and I could get it at a good price through our neighbor — not a factory renewed unit, but factory fresh.
Well, after only six weeks of light use, this is what happens when you try to play a CD. Eric demonstrates. Listen for a different neighbor’s cute, little attack doggies in the background.
At least the slot loader mechanism works, so the disc isn’t stuck in there. I should be able to get a new replacement Bose Wave without a hassle. This has been a bad summer for product defects.
On the other hand, two things that are working great are Eric’s Xbox 360 and the video projector. Here’s a demonstration. Visualization by Jeff Minter. Look quick for the song title if you wish to avoid!
