XBMC

I couldn't shoot anything outside the house today since I had a major headache today and had to come home early from work. I took 2 panadols and took a nap since I hate being awake when I have a headache. When I woke up it was evening already and I was feeling much better so I decided to install the Xbox Media Center (XBMC) on my xbox, I had heard a lot about it but didn't know how cool it was till today. Other then the fact that I can now stream music, videos and pictures off my mac, I can also listen to online radio and even watch videos off the web. I have a whole bunch of channels including Comedy Central where I was able to watch a couple of Dave Chappelle shows the funniest being the one called "What if Bush was Black". Really funny stuff. One channel even had 12 episodes of the new show Joey for me to watch, very cool, this media center is going to start competing with my Tivo it seems. Today is Day 240 of the project, only 125 days to go.

Where does the media content come from? do you stream it off the web? or is it divx stuff you've downloaded previously?
