TANcast

In case you care and use a Mac or Linux, Boxee has opened up its Alpha. So now anyone can download the software and try it. I personally haven’t used it that much but the main reason for that is I watch most things on the computer connected to my tv and it is running Vista. I have checked out XBMC and Plex (Mac Only) as well. So far I like Boxee the best because you can browse sites like Hulu, Comedy Central and Apple Trailers out of the box. I know you can do at least some of that stuff with XBMC and Plex but it seems you have to use scripts and plug ins and it was too much of a hassle for me. To be fair though I haven’t used any of the products that much. I will try and give them all a spin and give a more detailed review.

In other geek news. I am going to try and load Windows 7 on my Mac and run it in Parallels or Boot Camp, whichever works. I did a quick Google search and saw some people got it to work but I haven’t researched the best way to do it.

Nothing else to report for now.

Yup…we’re not in our little TANwindow this week. Personal crises, prior commitments, and poor planning and communication have created a perfect storm that amounts to no TANcast this week 🙁

Sorry, TANcastinators and TANcastanets. We’ll be back next week…we hope.

New Year, same ol’ TANcast…

In this episode Tim spoils the Dark Knight, Tim tattles on Noah, the guys pick the 5 celebrities they get to have sex with (no questions asked), Andy disses Golden Compass, Noah disses Uwe Boll and “busy” people, we learn about the TANboys’ superpowers, and a few celebrities come in to sign off the show.

It shouldn’t be possible, but a team that was 4-8 about a month ago managed to make the playoffs with an 8-8 record and then beat a 12-4 team whose quarterback was just declared League’s Most Valuable Player.

Everything that can go wrong this week, has gone wrong.

When we recorded the episode Noah’s program crashed, losing his audio…

Then he recovered over 700 temp files that Tim had to reassemble one at a time. Halfway through  completeing that, Tim’s computer crashed and he had to start all over.

After Tim finally recovered and reassembled all of Noah’s audio, he started editing the episode and was about halfway done when his laptop was infected with a virus that has had him spending the whole day getting rid of spyware, adware, trojans etc.

So, botom line: TANcast 30 is coming…eventually. And I hate people who write viruses!!!

It’s not the greatest gift of all, but it’s pretty sweet. And best of all it won’t cost you anything but some printer ink!

Just click here for a printable gift certificate that will fit in any holiday card! (TANcast makes a great Kwanzaa present) Or click on the thumbnail below…

In this very tardy episode of TANcast, the TANboys talk G.I. Joe, Dukes of Hazard, Noah’s tasty peanuts, Carl’s Jr. vs Hardee’s, Chick Fillet vs Chick-fil-A, Andy’s spectacular sickness, how to deal with winter temperatures, and the progress since the early days of the internet.

Then Andy interrupts Tim’s first BJ, Bush dodges a shoe, Tim performs for the troops, Andy and Noah keep TANcast a secret, Tim takes his wife salsa dancing, Noah sings, Kevin Smith’s heartache, and Noah finds a spoiler for the movie Marley and Me.
