On this week’s show, Randal chats with Scott Davilla and Jonathan Marshall about a project that’s come to embody open-source for a number of people, the XBMC, or XBox Media Center! XBMC is free, open source software that you can use to turn your XBox into one of the best media centers you could possibly have and offers a ton of features. Even if you already have an XBox 360, if you’re like me and have an old XBox lying around as well, XBMC can put it to good use. The crew this week talks about the project in general, and how you can use XBMC in ways you may not have expected.

Congratulations Amber!

amber macarthur

We’re probably the last people on the block to hear this, but Amber MacArthur had a baby! The reason she’s been away from commandN and net@night for the past couple of weeks is because the Web’s favorite video podcasting pioneer is now a new mommy!

On February 8th, Amber gave birth to Connor, and I understand that both mother, father, and child are all happy, healthy, and well. In fact, Amber is already back to blogging and tweeting about the experience!

Congratulations!
