New DVD player that includes Wi-Fi access to your PC to play audio, movies and view images. That gets around the whole changing disk format (blue-ray DVDs, DVD-R, DVD+R etc.) nicely. I assume it'll have updatable drivers too. Only US$250.

I remember reading somewhere recently that actors these days get paid so much because of all the re-sale options, soundtracks, DVD, video, rental, cable TV, free-to-air etc. and that all of those options will die soon due to the internet. You won't have DVD in the future, you'll just buy the bits. The format will be irrelevant.

Office X-mas party tonight. Monday Tuesday for work then three weeks off. Will at least go to Werribee zoo and spend a day or two driving up to the 12 Apostles. Or maybe not. Lots of lazing around doing not much, seeing friends, recording with the band (demos!) and watching DVDs. mmmmmm

Best CDs of 2002? I might compile a CDs discovered list if I can be bothered. Resolutions for next year? Like last year, "more of the same please".

Received an x-mas bonus for all the hard work over the last few months. Not quite time-in-leau which is what I would have prefered but hey, it's paid for all the DVDs I plan to get after X-mas so it's better than a kick in the nuts.
