About Me and this Site…
I’m a life long technology enthusiast who’s now building a family and looking for a way to manage all the digital memories and media we’re accumulating, rapidly. I’ve got MiniDV video’s and a wife with a 5 Mega Pixel camera that doesn’t have a chance to cool down. I want to share my music with my kids and give them quick access to “The Wiggles” when they need it the most.
I appreciate the other DVR/PVR/Media PC solutions out there, but the objectives of those systems is the maintenance of a business model. The customer doesn’t enter the picture at all. Furthermore, when Hung Lo computing of Redmond WA goes bankrupt, how do I renew my DRM keys to my wedding video? Open solutions ensure my memories are preserved for future generations.
I live and work outside of beautiful Seattle, WA, not far from our primary competitor.
This site is a commercial venture and I do hope to make a modest profit, but I hope to do so while providing genuine value to my visitors. If I don’t provide value, let me know at brian@lokiproject.com and I’ll go do something else.
I do appreciate that I’m capitalizing off of other peoples very hard work, so if a profit’s generated, I’ll contribute a portion to those who helped make this project a success. That includes those fighting to guarantee our access to our own media like the Electronic Freedom Foundation.
