Holy crap, Joost is COOL.

I just got a beta invite to Joost and installed it on my MacBook. Holy crap is it slick. You can watch TV shows on demand either full screen or in a little windowed mode. It’s decent quality and so far (knock on wood) there’s been no lag. I’m currently watching a documentary on Galapagos [...]

What’s up, C.K.?

James Kim: 1971-2006

C|Net has a tribute page, complete with video, honoring James Kim: James Kim: 1971-2006. I didn’t know James, never met him, but several people I know did, and he did come into my home quite a bit on both TechTV and via the net. I always enjoyed his reviews. They were very human and honest [...]

Lost

So, after the co-op board meeting, we had dinner and then watched Lost.

TNT HD SUCKS

I have an HD TV and it is amazing. I love it. Unfortunately, Cablevision only offers about 18 channels in HD with my package, and even more unfortunate, they somehow count TNT HD as one of those channels. I want to clarify here: TNT HD offers very few shows in actual HD. The vast majority [...]
