Some of it is blurry, but the show was awesome.

They played all of “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back”

Prof. Griff and the SW1s were even there.

There are a bunch of new features.

Here are my personal favorites:

1. Netflix streaming support.
Not so happy I just bought a Roku box, but that isn’t the Xbox’s fault.

2. Watching Netflix movies with other Xbox Live Gold members (they must also have netflix accounts).
Microsoft calls this the “LIVE Party system” and it sounds fun, especially in the next few months, when I will be moving.  Time to get the video camera.

3. More HD content. I have never paid for any HD content from the Xbox marketplace, but I probably would if more was available. NBC/Universal stuff should be live today.

4. Save time and sound by “Play from hard drive”.  Finally get some real use out of that hard drive.  I’ve wanted this for a while, especially since the DVD drive is so darn loud.

5. 16:10 aspect ratio supported via VGA and HDMI.  So I can use my LCD monitors as the update will add support for both 1440×900 (my 20″ LCD) and 1680×1050 (my 22″ LCD).

I noticed as I was cabling my bike at Target that the front wheel felt loose.

After further investigation, it was REALLY loose.

It was so loose I was probably lucky it stayed on the bike.

Tried to tighten it and the axle bolt broke.

I went to Dick’s sporting goods hoping they had the part, but there was nothing on the shelves.

A guy in the bike section found a part for me (in the bike service parts cabinet), but they don’t actually sell these parts as they are for assembling bikes.

He talked to another employee and then ended up GIVING me the bolt.

Shouldn’t have been very expensive, but it was nice to get it for free rather than them telling me they don’t sell the part after I have had it in my hand.

Good job Dick’s!  You saved me from walking miles with my injured bike.
