OK, it's the weekend, time for a personal posting.....

My wife is the best!

For Valentines Day this year my wife surprised me with a new universal remote, the Logitech Harmony 880! This thing totally rocks!  (I am a major gadget geek, so bear with me)

I used to have 6 different remotes to control my various electronics and I know that it irritated her a little whenever we had to hunt to find the correct one. When recording something on TiVo, we needed the TV remote to change channels, but the TiVo remote when we weren't. When watching a DVD, either on the DVD player or the XBOX 360, we needed to find those remotes. Also, when dealing with the Comcast cable box we had that remote and the Psyclone Selector Switch had it's own remote. That's 6 different remotes to keep track of, stock batteries for, etc.

Not any longer, this little baby handles all of those and is totally customizable so I can expand it as items in my arsenal increase. After programming the remote via my computer (which was a cinch), I can now turn on all needed electronics, turn off unneeded ones and select the correct video input with only 2 clicks.

I know this sounds like a commercial but I am just totally thrilled with it and highly recommend it to anyone shopping for one.

Now, if it could only troubleshoot my Javascript.

Thanks Baby. I love you (and it).

P.S. - The price listed on the site is not what she paid for it (I know, I pay the credit card bill).  Check out Buy.com for better pricing.
