Yesterday I finally received my invitation to hulu.com. I remember signing up for this a couple of months ago and I was starting to think I would never hear back from them. What this site allows you to do is watch TV shows and movies. They’ve got a pretty good selection of shows right now. Shows from NBC,FOX, as well as others, both currently running and classic are available. Navigating the site is pretty simple and easy to find what to watch. The quality of the video was pretty good and I only ran into a buffering issue once in the 3 or 4 shows I’ve watched this far. Right now the site is free which is good but you do have to sit through some ads when watching a show. I was viewing the site in linux so the video player would not let me do full screen, so I was a bit disappointed by that. Overall I was pretty impressed with the site and it’s nice to be able to catch up on some of the shows I’ve missed. I don’t think this site will catch on with most people though cause they can’t watch the videos on their TV, only on their computer.

It’s magic time
Well I got to check out a magic show last night. It was pretty cool as I’ve never been to a magic show before. The show Real Magic featuring Kalin and Jinger. I’ve seen a lot of magic shows on TV before but it was quite a different experience to see some of the classic magic tricks up close and personal. There was some slight of hand tricks and the old sawing a woman in half trick. Mixed in with the tricks there was quite a bit of humor. It was a good time and I had lots of fun.
The berimbau
I got my first chance to try and play the berimbau tonight. It’s the main instrument that is used when you are playing Capoeira. I must say it’s a little harder to play than it looks. I just tried it for a few minutes so I’m no where near mastering it but it was pretty cool to give it a try.
Cool car man!!!
I saw this parked on the street the other day and figured I should take a couple of pics. I didn’t get to talk to the owner but I hope they don’t have a problem with me taking pics of their ride. They probably don’t mind as this car is all about getting attention.
Capoeira!!!!
I love Capoeira. I love it, I love it, I love it. Even though it’s rough on me, I still enjoy it more than I could put into words.
New Dell and old HP, separated at birth???
On the left is an older HP desktop. On the right is one of the new Dell desktops. Maybe it’s just me but they look very very similar. I really like Dell systems but I think they could have tried a little harder on the design. When I first saw the new Dell system I thought “Man, that looks so familar.” After a quick Google search I came across the pic seen above.
One-eyed gator pulls golfer into pond!
Talk about life imitating art. Virtually the same incident was portrayed in the movie Happy Gilmore. Who would have thought that such a silly thing in such a silly movie could really happen in life.
May the force be with you….
Gotta love the internet.

Alright linux fans. It’s time to put your money where your mouth is. Dell is finally selling machines with linux preinstalled. I’m pretty excited about this and I know a lot of people out there are. The real question though is will this be a successful venture. Lots of people said they wanted to have linux preinstalled so now that it’s here from a major hardware vendor, will the fans really buy into it or were they just blowing smoke. Only time will tell.
Check this out!
Now is this an awesome sign or what?
