Hello World 2.0!
I have (reluctantly) made the decision to migrate my blog from my custom made PHP CMS to WordPress. While I like the customizability, flexibility, and lightweightness of my own CMS, I was getting to a point where I wanted new abilities and was too interested working on other more interesting projects to code them. So, I migrated to WordPress. All posts previous to this one where from my old blog, which can still be found HERE.
Google was nice enough to provide me with a free Google TV as part of their 10,000 free Google TVs for developers. Below is the unboxing, see the item descriptions.

Removing the top of the box relieves the keyboard.
Removing the keyboard shows you the actual Revue itself.
All of the contents of the Logitech Revue boxRevue, Keyboard/mouse, HDMI cable, Bower cables, IR Blaster, and a welcome card.
The IR Blaster.The Revue also has 3 IR blasters built into it.
Enjoy!

This device looks promising, However I felt like it was lacking. But when Google Released the android app market for it in 2011 things should be much different. If you watched the entire sideshow you will notice that I already started tinkering with it 
I use pidgin as my main IM client, but I have always felt that it has a lack of smilies, so here is my own custom smilies theme. It contains 120 smilies. I have also made a lite version that only contains 90. I got the smilies from a phpbb smilie theme, because they went well with the default smilie theme.
