(Nicked this picture from Stevecla – looks like an advert for Cyberdyne Systems. I’m going to put a chain lock on the TV stand just in case..)

I’m back at work tomorrow after a few days off recharging batteries/dumping the kids with the grandparents. This afternoon I managed to get a couple of hours to continue tinkering with the tech set-up at home.

Mainly this involved downloading the new blades for the XBox (looks very metro-y now) in preparation for the arrival of the Kinect(which means my kids will be able to do video calls to the Grandparents really easily too!) and hooking up the new laptop to the Windows Home Server via the Zune software and Windows Live Photo Gallery in preparation for the arrival of my Windows Phone 7.

Man, I think I just geek bloated on all of the upgraded stuff that’s happening. It’s nice, not least because it means I can ditch iTunes and all things “i*”, but also because it feels just a bit “meh” now.

Oh – also squeezed in an order for a Kindle. I know, I just had to have that second slice of pie. Burp.
