Week In Review: December 8th

Another quick week.  What's been going on here?  Well we've had snow, ice, Christmas parties, work meetings and some testing for the new SageTV HD Extender (review should be out by the end of the day tomorrow).  All of this has kept me pretty busy, but I've been keeping the "Television Shows - Episodes Remaining List" up-to-date as the Writers strike has begun to affect television watchers everywhere and I'm keeping the Amazing Race Map and the NCAA College Football Bowl Matchup Map up-to-date as well.  Seems like the Nintendo Wii Game machine is a hot Christmas item again this year and it must be pretty hard to find because I'm getting a ton of hits from people looking for the gamestop back-door method of finding a Wii.

Don't forget to check back tomorrow to read the SageTV HD Extender review.  I've been running it through the paces this week and will tell you all about it Sunday, one day before it goes on sale.
