According to that discussion, the player is based on the STB225 set-top box platform designed by NXP. At the center is a chip called the Nexperia Multi Format Source decoder PNX8935, which combines a 32-bit MIPS processor and a dedicated video decoder supporting multiple codecs, including H.264. The reference STB225 boards have SATA and USB capabilities. The Wi-Fi daughtercard in the Roku box uses up the USB header, but there are several other headers that have yet to be identified. Roku engineers say that the box uses HDCP on the HDMI connection, which might limit its hackability.

On the software side, Roku has released the source code to all of the free software used inside the box, including the Linux environment and bootloader.

I finished How I Became a Famous Novelist this morning.
  • by Steve Hely
    • He writes for 30 Rock.
    • He used to write for David Letterman.
  • via Terry Gross
Terry focused on Hely's parodies of various best selling genres. There is, in fact, a conflict within the first person protagonist between his cynicism and his non-cynical self. In the end Hely comes down on the site of (spoiler alert) earnestness. It speak to my own struggle against lazy cynicism. In the process there some legitimate discussion contrasting commercial and literary writing. There are views into how modern publishing works: selling a book, book tours, TV interviews, etc.

  • pdafriendly
  • So far as I can tell, no one has looked in to the same person having different beliefs at different times and in different contexts. That is my own experience. Christian scripture at least acknowledges this cf John 20:27-29
  • Dileep George and Jeff Hawkins' Hierarchical Temporal Memory model provides a hard AI implementation rooted in the neural circuitry of the neocortex that demonstrates how beliefs are affected by context and change through time.

We used the Google map, got to the supposed address & couldn't find the restaurant, went back to the hotel, got new direction went back to the same place and finally realized that the restaurant is hidden behind four huge billboards.

It was worth the effort. I had brucetta with fresh tomatoes, lots of garlic, lots of olive oil and a thin slice of parmasan on each piece. Dad had mussels with maybe too much garlic, if such a thing is possible. The tiramsu was light and soaked.

  • Brian Berry is the guy.
  • At about minute 40 minutes in there's a worthwhile observation about running grass roots organizations. Brian says he's talked to other people running grass roots organizations and they all agree that the biggest problem is finding committed people to work on them. Lots of people want to come and talk to you but that's not what you need.
  • Brian sees the future of learning activities as Javascript and HTML 5.
  • He would like to see a JS/HTML 5 learning activity framework
  • He had not heard of the Lively Kernel
  • Nepal's education system, partly as a result of limited resources, is based on rote and passing exams
  • As a result, the learning activities must be based on the curriculum.

What are George W. Bush's supporters are most passionate about? - a 1 minute mp3 from his 1st inauguration http://tinyurl.com/gwb1st "We must show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations. Together, we will reclaim America's schools, before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives. We will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent. And we'll reduce taxes, to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans. We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge. We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spared new horrors."

Somewhere is the past few months I heard a talk about the desperate state of affairs. It was porbablly climate change but maybe it was the meltdown or the mideast. In any case he was asked if he was optimistic. He said something like that optimism was the only attitude which leads to effective action so it is our obligation to be optimistic. Fake it 'til you make it.
