Cable is dead if...
Obviously Internet TV but I want more
I want a completely wireless media player and no not a home theater pc. I want a very small, light box like the Roku player and the Seagate FreeAgent Theater+™. But these devices overlap. I want them to merge. I don't want a hard drive for dvr use, I want live sports. Currently no box has Hulu, Netflix, Amazon On Demand, MLB Live and NFL Network all in one. Also, give me an over-the-air HDTV receiver built-in. Then I can mount an old-style antenna and get the local sports.
Box size
I almost get what I want from a Blue-ray or DVD player but they're like boats. I want a device sans the optical drive. Small, light. One that will fit on a mid-wall mounted projector in my case.
Power brick
I want the power brick to have an on/off switch and make this an industry standard in this "green" push.
Open Source
I want the backend software to be maintainable by the geeks who know how to quickly make updates.
Add the above to a projector
After working with a modern overhead projector that did 720p I am sold. It was an Optoma HD65 720p DLP Home Theater Projector. I used it with a FreeAgent Theater+ and it was so so so easy.
As you can see my solution is light-weight yet allowing a great view.
All the best,
Brian

Sample from the "Super Crunchers".
Try as I may to listen to "classics" as audio books, I've decided this new year to find books I really may enjoy. This could be one of the first of many. This is at my place, a Griffin AirCurve is holding the iPhone which is playing the audio book. The coster is from the local museum "The Fraizer International History Museum". The tv is playing the Rose Bowl football game muted with closed captions. You can see it in the reflection on the mirror of the table. The table was bought about 10 years ago with my children helping me pick it out. The chair just I'm sitting on it from my childhood. It is one of two I inherited when my mother died in my 20's.

"Good job pops" the text message came
This after our show at the Rudyard Kipling in Louisville, Kentucky USA last night. The lounge band player with me as its drummer. She has never called me 'pops' ha ha. Love it. Oh, and the background photo? That is "my spot", the flood marker at the Ohio River!

It just hit me. This could be the last "big" computer I ever have.
As I packed it up to give away just now I realized I may never own
another one. I like small. I am even giving away the desk. And yes I
made an unsuspecting person very happy just now when i offered it to
them and they were thrilled! Me too. Less is more.
