Wireless Game Adapter

Wireless devices are expensive if purchased for each device (and I have 4 devices), made by different manufactures. For instance the Xbox 360 wireless adapter, $100 just to connect the console to the internet, so I came up with a better solution, 1 Linksys wireless-to-ethernet adapter and 1 5-port Switch/Hub. The Hub has an uplink port that connects to the wireless adapter and 5 ports for connecting the Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3, and the Direct Tv OnDemand HD-DVR. The WI-FI game adapter is $90 and the Hub was $40.

It sounds difficult, but it’s really easy once you have a wireless router setup and connected to your DSL or cable internet connection….lol. Go AT&T. Will provide pic soon.

Well a little off the tech path: I’ve really got into the TV series of “The Two Coreys” on A&E lately. For some reason when I look at Haim, its like, that could be me! Growing up I watched all of the movies he made, I think we’re the same age, and if I was still single without kids, I think my path would’ve been similar. All I can Say, is kids have a way.

It was a little techie how I watched the previous shows though. When I connected the Ethernet to the back of the DVR, I searched for the show and downloaded them from the net, so cool.

Off the Grid



I just tried this new demo "GRID" for the Xbox 360, and I can't get enough. The sense of speed is awesome. The detail that is put into this game is just amazing, the damage physics are mind blowing. The in car view is so life like. Give this a test run, if you're into this type of thing. High Definition gaming at it finest.
