For some time now I’ve had a Mac mini connected to my TV and I love it. Everything that plays on the TV goes through the computer: Live television (via a tuner), DVD playback, music, music videos, streaming TV shows, streaming movies, photos, etc. Great little HTPC.
However, I’ve been constantly struggling with the 10-foot user interface. The built-in Front Row is too limited for my needs. Sure, I can do everything with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard; but it’s hard to control the regular Mac OS X interface from a couch. My eyesight is good, but not that good.

This marks the end of our series “Learn English with Andy”. We hope you have enjoyed it and that you have learned a lot. You can see all the entries by following this link.
Note: Andrés doesn’t really have kids. But I’m sure he’d like to settle down one day and have some. And like their father, they will be very handsome kids. Ladies: If you want to meet Andrés, use the comments to let us know and something will be arranged.
Test your color IQ
I found this little online test for your ability to see and distinguish colors. They present you with four rows of colored tiles that you need to sort by hue. The higher your final score, the worse you did. The perfect score is 0. Since I’ve always thought that I’m perfect and yet I scored a 7, I concluded that the test is flawed.
Still, go ahead and give it a try and post your results in the comments. Whoever beats will make it to The MKX® Hall of Fame if I ever get around to creating it, but email me a screenshot as proof. And no Paint shenanigans please. To take the test, click here.
UPDATE 12/13/2008: Well, looks like a few people have been able to cheat just enough to beat me. Congratulations to Eva (score of 3) and Carolina (perfect score!). That’s ok, I still kicked both my brother’s asses.
UPDATE 12/14/2008 (2): Jaramillo‘s results are in (an impressive 12).

Oasis @ Monterrey
I knew English rock band Oasis was going to play at the Arena Monterrey on the same weekend of my trip. I also knew tickets were sold out quickly and scalpers were charging outrageous sums of money, devaluated peso nonwithstanding.
