This is absolutely the best thing I’ve seen for ages (thanks, John). The after-school percussion group at Minnetonka High School, Minneapolis, rehearsed for months and can now play two tracks from DJ Shadow’s ‘Endtroducing’ album. The music was arranged by 25 year-old geographer/law student/vibraslap enthusiast Brian Udelhofen, who teaches the group. The Shadow Percussion Project page links to this amazing video [65mb WMV] of the group’s live performance in May 2005.

My old ReplayTV 2000 may have given it self up, but it opened up a whole new opportunity.
I went ahead and picked up a ReplayTV 5508 which had numerous gains over the 2000. Short list:
* New remote – mine was wearing out
* Ethernet jack – I’ve gone through 2 sets of wireless phone jacks and still using a modem just hurts.
* Wireless access – with a Linksys WGA54G Wireless-G Game Adapter, channel guide is via the net
* DVArchive – DVArchive allows your computer to act like a “Virtual ReplayTV”. You can download shows from your ReplayTV to burn to DVD/VCD, play shows from your ReplayTV right on your desktop (without having to download them first) and play shows that are stored on your computer right from your ReplayTV/TV screen. You can also search TV listing, see what upcoming recordings on your ReplayTVs there may be and access those listings from a web browser or GUI.
Add that to PSPware, and it’s a breeze to move content from the ReplayTV to the PSP. It may be a little time consuming to transfer those huge video files over the G wireless, but it can’t be any slower than resorting to BitTorrent.
And the first show tested? This Old House….
