That shite was exciting.

Panthers
Bruins
Bhawks
Sharks

Just got back from Cooter's. It's imo that the Caps are done. I think the Bruins take it in 5.

Good to see that SJ won. I hope that turns into a good series.

I think I'm gonna focus on sharks/blues.

would be my 2nd pick. Followed by coyotes/blackhawks. I don't really care about the NYR/Ottawa series.

Depending on how much studying I feel like doing, I might stay up and watch the coyotes/blackhawks game.

Whole house cat6 is a given. I had 8 cat5 drops in the house I built in 04. 2 drops per location isn't a bad idea.

I've done internet research and controller is the biggest issue but I've seem where people have added a linksys antenna to there system. I've got a few wireless routers hanging around. I may try to increase the range.

Yeah, as you've said the controller is going to be the biggest issue. But from what I've read, 30ft distances from the box is not a problem, but obviously you're out of that range. I've read of a few people using USB extenders coupled with powered USB hub connected via Cat5 (though that might have been in theory, I've never followed it that much, b/c it's no use to me).

However, as far as what wiring you would want to do, I would just do the Cat6. Then, depending on the money you would want to spend, I would try to consult someone (or head over to AVSforum) and see what information you can find out about various media switchers (a la Extron ). I don't have much familiarity with them aside from what I've scanned in reading at AVSforum. But they do (and many other companies) make switchers and extenders, that transmit HDMI(audio and video) over Cat5. You should be able to couple this with touchpads or logitech harmony devices with an IR and RF set-up.

This set-up would be more expensive than just buying another box. But it would allow you to use other devices in a similar fashion in addition to hopefully preparing you for future gen consoles as well.

Is it me or did Sutter sound like a President Puppet from Disneyland?

I must've not been paying attention. I've been switching from watching the game to reading notes.

Pretty decent game so far.

That's supposed to be the tank plan.

What follows is what I have on Mint.com. I do carry most of the expenses for our dog, but my g/f has bought things for the pet. A few snacks here or there or maybe a bag of dog food. I usually pay all of the vet bills.

What kind of pet/pets?

---

1 small dog.

From Jan 2011 - Dec 11 I spent ~$501.28

Vet - $239.44 ( seems like I spend about $100 every 4-5 months because I did drop another 120 Jan '12)
- includes vet visits for immunizations, annual check-up, his flea/heartworm meds (~$100 per 6 months).

Pet-Food and Misc.- ~$206.41
We buy him a decent cost dog food. But since he's a small dog it last a few months. Then lumped into this category is misc spending on treats, toys, items etc.

Grooming - $55.43
Haircut and bath and stuff.

The biggest expenses come in the first few months. Multiple vet visits, rabies shot, and all the crap you end up buying the dog.

Honestly, I believe the NBA should adopt NHL and NFL rules in regards to concussions. I think the league needs to seriously consider fining Griffin for how his body could have aggravated Smiht's concussion.
