Another busy week has come to an end! We had quite a few events to attend over the past few days, including Microsoft's X10 gig, so expect some interviews and previews in the next few days.
We have a DVR full of goodies to work through, and last night, we watched Human Target and Psych, but it's still more than 40% full of other TV series. I foresee that the couch will get lots of loving this weekend.
