If Justin Timberlake ever gets tired of making music, he can seriously pursue a career in comedy. Case in point, his most recent stint on SNL, where he plays one of Beyonce’s backup dancers. I dare you not to laugh when he says, “We’re the dancers.”

Woah. This one really brought back memories. “HR Pufnstuf…he’s your friend when things get rough. HR Pufnstuf…can’t do a little cuz you can’t do enough.” Saturday mornings haven’t been the same since.

hulu: tv. on demand.

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.

Redneck Reality TV

Okay, last night, I watched the funniest hour of TV that I’ve seen in a year. But, you know, I kinda feel bad laughing. I mean, Geneva and Kyle looked so dadgum happy standing there amongst their camo wedding party. But, pink rifles and snakes and boodwhar parties and nipple clamps and camo toes….oh my. I’m feeling ‘boobed’ myself.

Try out some down-home voyeurism yerself. CMT airs My Big Redneck Wedding Friday at 9PM. Check your local listings.

And today I remember the salt sea air, the roar of the ocean, the scattering of shells, and the lazy days I called vacation.

A song in memory of the beach:

The Savannah College of Art & Design has an interesting new viral video campaign going on. I knew about SCAD (as they are affectionately called) from their unique online store, Shop SCAD Online, and the video contest is fun, fun, fun. Try it! Be a winner!

I won the Netflix lottery!

psd — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 02:49:41 +0000

About a week ago, I was following a story on Netflix’ new Watch Now service where you can stream movies from their website for free as part of your subscription. Problem was, the service was not going to be available until June.

Well, the very informative Hacking Netflix site gave some tips on an unofficial ‘lottery’ of sorts where random account holders might log in to find a Watch Now tab miraculously appear, allowing one to be an early adopter of the service. Well, wouldn’t you know, I logged in tonight and there she was! The Watch Now tab!

The trick is as follows:

1. Log in to your Netflix account.
2. Click on the “Your Account” link at the top of the page.
3. About halfway down on the right, click a link that says “Learn how to watch movies live on your PC”.
4. If you win the ‘lottery’, a Watch Now tab will appear in your set of navigation tabs. If you don’t, you’ll see the Watch Now preview page telling you to wait until June.
I tried this about a half dozen different days before it worked. It’s also been said that IE takes preference over Firefox, so to increase my odds of being picked, I used both IE 7 and the Firefox IE tab. I hit the jackpot using the Firefox IE tab.

I had to install a smallish app (the Netflix Movie Viewer), which took only a few minutes on broadband, and my chosen movie began to play. I’ll update on the quality and ease of use once I actually watch it–I picked The Puffy Chair because it was in my queue anyway.
