TVHarmony Converts TiVo Recordings into iPod Format

"TVHarmony.com has released a new version of its AutoPilot software that supports converting TiVo-recorded shows into a format that's compatible with the new video iPod. It also works with Palm devices that can view video.

The software automatically transfers, converts and stores your TV programming. You can select shows to be downloaded automatically, in the middle of the night if you like, and process the transfers into popular formats. AutoPilot keeps track of the shows you've already downloaded so you can transfer an entire TV series without duplicates.

You need a networked TiVo with TiVoToGo capability, a minimum of 10 GB hard drive space, Windows 2000 or XP, and TiVo Desktop software version 2.1 or higher. You need to have your TiVo's IP address and Media Access Key."

Serenity

This past weekend I saw Serenity (see also: Fandango, IMDB). To put it simply, I was amazed. Rarely does a movie blend action, suspense, and science fiction so masterfully with a rich background of characters and an amusing dialog. Although not all of the plot turns were unexpected, the writers broke numerous Hollywood clichés throughout the movie, causing my jaw to hit the floor on more than one occasion. I won't do any spoilers, but I will say that the surprises they put in the movie had me captivated for two days afterwards. I plan to see it a second time in the theatres so that I can be sure to capture the full depth of the story in relation to the characters. Thus far, it is my favorite movie of 2005.

If you haven't already, go buy/rent/steal Firefly and then go see Serenity.

UPDATE: Don't take my word for it. Read what Orson Scott Card, author of numerous books including Ender's Game, has to say about Serenity. (via /.)

UPDATE 2: The DVD is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com
