Groceries for $119 and a little over 11 gallons of regular unleaded gasoline for $40.00.

Roku HD video streaming player. I can watch yt videos right on my tv now :D
roku doesnt have a native youtube app though but there are apps for ios that can allow you to watch youtube videos on your roku
yes I know, wish I had know before purchasing it but all YT clips are viewable by the my video buzz channel


I used to have VideoBuzz on my Roku, but back in April, Roku forced VB to shut down its channel  :(

DailyMotion has an official Roku channel if you want to add that to your Roku.

MyVideoBuzz has replaced VideoBuzz. It's essentially the same as before. :yes:

If you have an iOS device, there's an app called Twonky beam that works great for getting Youtube onto your Roku.. it's explained very well in this CNET article: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57575819-285/how-to-watch-youtube-videos-on-roku/

I have used Twonky beam on my Roku and it's really easy to use :)

A Cherry Dr Pepper.  You know, it was promoted as being "smooth," and that made me think of the smooth jazz that once aired on the LFs.

I forgot to mention this, but two weeks ago, the last thing I bought were:
  • $30 iTunes gift card (to collect more of the "golden age" TWC music for my 4000/WeatherScan XL emulators)
  • A official CD copy of David Lanz's Cristofori's Dream album (featured both May 1990 & August 1992 TWC LF playlists) - $14.99
  • A official DVD copy of Pokémon The Movie: Destiny Deoxys (I remember seeing this on Kids WB back when it first aired in 2005) - $6.99
Total: $53.79 (my mom helped me out on doing some chores for my savings).  :happy:
Classic TWC, Weatherscan, legacy WeatherSTARs, and classic Prevue/TV Guide fan.

For $14.99, I bought a pair of Sony MDR-G45 headphones, and I love 'em!  B)
