2008 “Year Zero”
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008Time travel is a pet topic of mine. I have said, and continue to say, that if there’s a way to travel in time, I’m signing up.
It’s being widely reported that a pair of Russian mathematicians say that a massive particle accelerator being built by CERN could be the first time machine. I’m particularly intrigued by this:
New Scientist says that if time travel ultimately proves possible, it could occur only as far back as the creation of the first time machine, making 2008 “Year Zero” (meaning there’s no need to contact your time-travel agent until at least 2009).
Kind of takes away the fantasy a bit, don’t you think? It also tends to nullify every piece of time-travel fiction ever written. I need to think about this a bit more.

I took a snow day today and thought I’d catch up with the 3 email accounts I’ve been neglecting. I found an invitation to beta test hulu.
From their website:
Hulu’s ambitious and never-ending mission is to help you find and enjoy the world’s premium content when, where and how you want it. We hope to provide you with the web’s most comprehensive selection of premium programming across all genres and formats – television shows, feature films, clips, and more. Additionally, we want to give you more choices of when and where you can enjoy your favorite programming, while creating innovative experiences that let you watch and participate in online video in new and exciting ways.
I was just happy I got to watch House - Frozen since the Super Bowl snarfed up my DVR recording.
No glitches, reasonably large sized viewing screen, manageable 30 second commercial breaks and lots of opportunity for feedback. So far, only 2 of the majors are on board–FOX and NBC–but I suppose others will follow suite. Looks good to me. Hey, any chance to catch a show I enjoy(ed), is okay by me.
I’ve got a couple invitations if anyone’s interested. Leave me a comment.
