Welcome to AppleTV Hacker

Hey all -

this is Mike Curtis, of HD for Indies (hdforindies.com).

I've been writing 99% of hdforindies.com for a few years, and now along comes the AppleTV, and I'm Into It.

So I decided to start another blog, specific to AppleTV, because I'm crazy that way and apparently have way too much free time.

HD for Indies is a lot of fun, but is my work - this is really more for fun.

This blog is going to be about using and messing around with the AppleTV. It is NOT going to be about doing illegal things like getting illicit content. It'll be about doing clever things, and at some point will probably involve voiding the warranty, since I'm already scheming about how to get a bigger hard drive in there, and will it be recognized, can a USB drive be attached and somehow recognized, can a USB DVD drive be attached and recognized and used, etc. etc. etc.

I'll flesh it out as I go along. Witness the majesty of how I've already screwed up the basic template. I keep hearing the Ren & Stimpy "It's Log!" song transmogrified in my head:

It's blo-og!
It's blo-og!
It's black!
It's ugly!
It's cheap!

It's blo-og!
It's blo-og!
It's barely begun
it's a heap!


...or something like that.

So...it begins...
