'Try thinking inside the box'

No that’s not a misspelling thank you very much!  It’s www.Sumini.com

For both of my friends that have a Roku box, you need to add this channel app.  For those that don’t have a Roku box yet, GET ONE!

It allows you to stream any rss feed to your TV.  Plenty of existing feeds already in their system, but most importantly, you can add anything yourself!  For example, I really wanted to be able to see the church service from KCBT on our main TV.  I just added the rss feed url from the church website!

Now I can easily select this from my Sunimi channel on Roku and start watching.  I chose to make this public so now anyone using the Sunimi channel can also see the KCBT church service without having to duplicate the feed steps.

You can of course keep your feed private and not share if you prefer.  This really helps fill the gap for items that perhaps aren’t big enough on their own to already be part of Netflix, or MediaFly, etc.

Enjoy!!

LeeBing has a new home (host).  Now living on DreamHost

Nice features, especially for the price. Definitely worth a look at if you are in the market.

Thanks to Jim Edwards at EdwardsDesign for the hookup on the new host!

My apologies for being gone so long.  I do hope to get back to more regular postings.

Thanks!

Just installed the new Windows Live Essentials beta and wow!  I already loved the Live Writer for blogging, but now the ribbon interface has come to the Essentials programs and it’s very nice.

Movie Maker is much improved.  It may not be iMovie, but it’s the best free movie program in Windows in my opinion.

Photo Gallery has made a HUGE jump forward.  Live Photo Gallery was already a fabulous tool for windows, but this really is amazing for a free program.  The easy of confirming faces to identify people is great.  The multiple built in ways to quickly post to Flickr, YouTube, SkyDrive, Facebook, etc. is very friendly.

Messenger isn’t nearly as annoying as it has been.  Sorry, but in the past it was horrible about the ads and junk in the way of the interface.  Much cleaner now.
