You might be interested to know that there's two different kind of posts on this blog: "Thought of the Day" and "Normal". The "Thought of the Day" category is a once-a-day random tidbit, usually a funny video or picture, and the "Normal" is just what you'd expect from a blog like this:

Unicorn-Butterfly Soup.

XBOX360 Problems

I just turned on my XBOX360 for the first time in awhile, and it worked fine.  Then I ran the update (v2.0.6717.0), it reboots, and… I get black and white video.

Not only that, but two funny symbols appear on the screen that won’t go away (see photos below).  The green one looks like the power ring on the XBOX itself, and the red one might be an “i” or a symbol for a harddrive.
