I've mentioned various media centres like Boxee and XBMC before. There's a new media centre in town made by the same folks who do the Geexbox media software. Enna is the next generation of Geexbox's interface, but it seems like it might get separated from the live CD. This would be a good thing because it would get included in more distributions as it matures.

After a crazy day of Toronto traffic Maria and I arrived back in Kitchener and settled down in front of the television. Actually I settled in front of the television while Maria settled in front of the computer. I don't remember what was on but I passed out from exhaustion. When I woke up the movie To Sir With Love was on. After only a few minutes I was hooked. Sidney Poitier does an amazing job as a "proper" teacher for a bunch of delinquent British kids. If you haven't seen To Sir With Love and you love old movies, it's a must see.

Last night Maria and I watched the movie I could never be your woman. In it Michelle Pfeiffer stars as a TV Show director in her 40s who falls in love with a 29 year old actor played by Paul Rudd. Paul is fantastically funny, I loved the comedy in this movie. Sadly it's a bit predictable, but we've seen a lot worse movies.
