I really hate TV. I don’t even watch it. It is something that you should be able to pay for what you use, not pay for everything and use a little bit of it, so here is what I did. I went to Best Buy and picked up and HDTV Antenna. It rocks. I just [...]

Woah, well it has been a while since I talked about my “Media Center” experience I am trying go for, but I will get into that later. First, yes, I have the iPhone 3G. I was off Friday for other stuff and decided to “camp out” since I had the time, hoping I would get [...]

One application that I always install when I set up a new machine, is VLC – http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ What is nice, is that it will play just about anything. Video, Audio, whatever. It will play AVI’s, DVDs, Mp3s, FLV’s, and any other 3 letter acronym you can think of. You can set it to be default [...]

  The Discovery Channel used to be the place to go to just “learn” instead of watching TV. Between the Discovery Channel and History Channel you could just learn all day and night. Well, it seems the Discovery Channel has just become the place for continuous runs of the same 4 or 5 shows. MythBusters [...]

Stumbled across TVU Networks last night, http://www.tvunetworks.com/ Its P2P streaming TV, pretty cool actually, but eats up the bandwidth. It has some good channels. CBS (from San Pablo, CA), ABC News, SCI-FI, and others. Just another trick in the bag for people who have “cut the cord”. Technorati tags: TVU Networks, P2P TV, IPTV, ABC [...]

Since cutting cable, I have tried many different online TV programs. Democracy TV (soon to be Miro), TVTonic, Amazon Unbox, ITunes Video Store, Joost, etc. I finally got a beta invite to VeohTV the other day, and installed it Friday night. Since I am sunburned like crazy, I am holed up in my apartment anyway’s, so why not [...]

Since I don’t have cable, I really don’t watch much TV. But every now and then you need some entertainment, and when the Netflix Queue is in the mail, I usually find something online. When I first got to Portland, I crashed at Emily’s for a week, and when I wasn’t Photowalking (hah!!) or out, [...]

When I am not listening to my music collection, I usually listen to Pandora, using Open Pandora. Now, I know, no ad’s, how does Pandora make money? Well, I would gladly pay 30 bucks a year for this service, the Open Pandora app should be eaten up by Pandora. Anyway’s, I kept hearing this song [...]

I got an invitation to Joost. https://www.joost.com/ What Joost is: TV but over the Internet. The interface is cool, they seem to have a lot of programming, and not just independent stuff. Looks like I just found another way to get entertainment. (XBOX 360, Amazon, Netflix, Other online video, and now Joost) I am watching [...]

Stumbled across this site, http://www.dayzero.com It is an animated prequel to 24. There is one episode up there right now, looks like others are coming. Pretty cool idea, especially for 24 junkies like myself :) Technorati tags: 24, Jack Bauer, Day Zero
