			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I use both <a href="http://www.plexapp.com/">Plex</a> and <a href="http://boxee.tv/">Boxee</a> as my home media center apps.  I stopped using Boxee for a long time because <a href="http://www.brainmower.com/2009/02/19/boxee-vs-hulu-the-viewers-lose/">they dropped Hulu</a> (or vice versa).</p>
<p>Each app has it&#8217;s own advantages/disadvantages.  For instance, Plex does a better job of browsing movies while Boxee does better with music.</p>
<p>I recently upgraded to the latest version of Boxee and I&#8217;m digging a few of the new features.  <a href="http://www.pandora.com/">Pandora</a> on Plex is just plain ugly.  Check out Pandora on Boxee (it&#8217;s damn sexee!):</p>
<div id="attachment_200" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.brainmower.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/picture-1.png"><img src="http://www.brainmower.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/picture-1-300x174.png" alt="Pandora on Boxee" title="Pandora on Boxee" width="300" height="174" class="size-medium wp-image-200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Pandora on Boxee</p></div>
<p>I&#8217;ll probably continue to alternate back and forth.  Now that Boxee&#8217;s Hulu is working again Boxee has a slight edge because of the superior way Boxee handles music, which is what I do most on my computer/TV etc.  </p>
<p>Either way, I&#8217;ll be keeping both Boxee and Plex updated and check on them regularly.  Much thanks and appreciation to the work of both teams.  Great job!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.fox.com/terminator/" "target=_blank">Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles</a> is in danger of being canceled after just two seasons.  The Season 2 finale aired tonight.  Disclaimer: I am not a big fan of TV in general but I will watch certain shows.</p>
<p>Terminator: TSSC, which is based on the Terminator movie series, has had it&#8217;s ups and downs.  Tonight&#8217;s season finale (and the previous two episodes) were FANTASTIC. I hope that Fox will realize that there is value in keeping good TV on TV and not be solely driven by revenue. One can dream!  No one needs another <a href="http://www.foxreality.com/news.php?id=94962&#038;type=news" "target=_blank">reality show pukefest</a> on television.  Terminator has potential to run a long time, if Fox can keep the faith.</p>
<p>Terminator has taken chances. If you&#8217;re a fan of the show, you know what I mean.  If you&#8217;re not but curious, check out how they kill one of the main characters (MAJOR SPOILER).  You have never seen a main character <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxvpy2xjido" "target=_blank">die this way</a>.  Shocking, but completely in line with how Terminators roll.  Makes the show even more awesome!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m doing my part.  You can vote to <a href="http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b107874_save_one_show_help_your_fave_see.html" "target=_blank">keep the show on television</a>.  Go there, vote early, vote often.  </p>
<p>Three final reasons this show deserves to stay on-air:  Shirley Manson (yes, from Garbage), Summer Glau and Lena Heady. These ladies kick ass on this show and I feel their characters are just now hitting their full stride.</p>
