Looks like Roku and the Xbox 360 won’t be the only set-top boxes making the jump from 802.11g to the faster, further 802.11n spec this fall. While I’ve been scanning FCC filings lately, looking for something specific, a new TiVo wireless adapter wasn’t on my radar. Fortunately, the Engadget team is a more thorough and [...]

Adrian Dater of the Denver Post answers some emails, Why doesn’t Mike Haynes call the game when the puck is in play? He is almost always blabbing with Peter McNab when the puck is in play. We TV watchers do not have the privilege of seeing the entire ice like the attendees. It’s maddening. It’s always tough for me to critique any of the TV people. First off, I’ve known Haynes...

A day of football, as I watched the end of the college games from yesterday and three pro games from today. Whew. Good think I have two Tivos and two Slingboxes, so I didn't have to leave my computer :) How great is it to be able to work while "watching"? Don't answer that. Megan got into the spirit by baking an awesome football cake. It tasted as good as it looked (click to enbiggen). Play...
