As of around noon today, I’ll be heading out until no earlier than Monday of next week, so I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! There’s a slight chance I’ll post something before then, but don’t expect it.
While this little site will never break any traffic records, I do want to thank those of you who continue to come and read what I write here. I never thought at any time I would gain any kind of real reader base, but I’m thankful for the several hundred (sometimes thousands) of daily readers I get. It still amazes me every time I login that that many of you visit. I hope 2010 provides me with more to bring to you.
Sometime this afternoon I’ll find out if our third child will be a boy or girl. I already have two little boys, so the jury’s out on a trifecta or not. Then, tomorrow morning, we take off for the 7 to 9 hour drive (depending on the kids, traffic and/or weather) to Eastern Kentucky for Christmas vacation where my side of the family live.
Also, Media Browser Firestorm has been postponed until Christmas Eve (24th). It will also don a major version number (2.2) instead of a minor update (i.e. 2.1.4) since the changes warrant it. From what I have tested so far, it will be nothing short of fantastic (as usual). I don’t know how they can continue to amaze with each release, but they will do it again…mark my words. Be prepared for an early Christmas present (barring any additional setbacks)!
Again, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and an overall Happy Holiday. Be safe and enjoy!


Thank you very much, I love the site… I just built my first HTPC in August so I am relatively new to all of the MCE applications. I generally browse hack7mc, and thegreenbutton but with all of the crap on there I find you generally aggregate the quality apps/plugins/mods from each. Congrats on the baby, hope all goes well and you have a happy and healthy holiday. I have no plans for the holiday(I’m Jewish) so I’ll be hanging out at home this weekend looking forward to Firestorm keeping me busy.
Jon,
Keep up the good work. I read this daily now just to see if you have something new I missed. Congrats on the new child. I have only one of my own, but she is enough for me. Happy Holidays and do your newest child a favor. Never combine Christmas and his/her birthday together. A friend of mine had that always happen to him and he forver had a complex about it. Be good, be safe and most of all be happy!!
Great site Jon – I read it every day. Congratulations on number 3 (I have 3 myself), and I can’t believe you have a road trip the day after he/she is born :)
Merry Christmas.
Thanks for all the comments, but I was not clear. Baby was not born today…today was the sonogram that told us what we were having! My mistake!
By the way, it’s a girl :)
