I believe I’ve gotten my room setup to be near completion after the addition of a few pieces of tech. After suffering terrible internet connection despite buying a wireless 802.11n router for downstairs, I decided to try to hook up an old Comcast modem to the coax output in my room. It worked. I’ve now got some sexy 3.0MB/sec down sustained speeds for internet as well as my own wireless network beaming from my room so now anyone can get pretty excellent interweb anywhere in the apartment. Also, I think I’m going to try my hand tonight at ripping an LP to digital since my deck has a USB port on it that I’ve ignored since buying it. Now I can sleep, eat, consume media, and just generally chill in my room because it finally feels like a room rather than just some “sleeping space” of sorts.

I saw Junior Boys last night with mich and I must say, they’ve polished their live performance hardcore since I saw them a few months ago… plus the venue (the Mezzanine) was much better than where they played the first time as far as sound setup. I shamelessly bought 4 LPs, three from Junior Boys and another from the opening band which I had never heard of prior called Circlesquare… they’re quite the trip.
