Media Center Haiku

  • Article

Yesterday, I received a notification from the Microsoft eHome team that they were giving out free MCE remote + IR blaster receiver for free.  So my natural greed quickly guided me to their building and 30 mins later, I had 2 sets in my hand (just couldn't resist taking ONLY one set).  I only have a single Vista Ultimate with MCE at home, and so now ironically, I am the one ended up with the surplus.  Then I realized there are folks outside of Redmond, WA campus who can't are proud owners of their MCE and would definitely find good use of this MCE remote, but physically pick up this freebie.  So I decided I'll give this to someone.  But who do I choose?

I then decided to start a contest, not any type of contest, but a Haiku contest.  The best person who came up with the most creative or geekiest haiku about Media Center (or its free remote) would then win this thing from me. 

Here are the haiku, in no particular order:

-----------------

Bits fly in and out.

Zeroes and ones to pictures…

The “wow” has started!

-----------------

O Media Center

I yearn to connect sans wire

Bring forth my TV

Hot humid summer

Too hot to walk to PC

Please extend my reach.

-----------------

TV entertains.

Channels abound. What to watch?

MCE sees all.

-----------------

Love to watch TV.

Please send the Vista remote?

I love my couch, too.

-----------------

Vista Ultimate,

Along with Media Center.

What a nice combo.

But, walking to box and type,

Is getting old. Send remote!

-----------------

Am I cheap? Oh yes.

Especially free remote

No more getting up

-----------------

Hope you enjoy them.  If you have better suggestion, feel free to post in comment section.
