Alright, this website is probably not new to you, but I just checked out some vids here, and nearly peed my pants. Really.
Adult Swim.
Oh. My. God.
Slip goes High Def
Well, after numerous battles with Bell ExpressVu, it came down to my contract anniversary date for them to put up. Yes, the only time they were willing to negotiate was when I called on the exact date that my contract with them expired, and I told them to cancel the contract. Once it was out there, Bell decided to deal.
So, the Slip family will be watching true HDTV on Thursday evening, or maybe just recording it to the 2-tuner PVR that is coming, too. I'll never miss an episode of Oprah or Dr. Phil again. What's that, Rachel Ray? You'd like me to watch you too? Sure thing, sweetie. I might even make room for some, "As the World Turns".
PS. I hope you know I was joking in the above paragraph. Dr. Phil will never see airtime on the PVR while I draw breath.
Walk Alone vs. Upside Down
Ok. Take a listen to Jack Johnson's Walk Alone, and then listen to Upside Down from the Curious George soundtrack.
So? Which do you like better?
Guy Flicks
Frets on Fire
Well, you weren't too sure what this whole, "Guitar Hero" thing was all about, so here is a clone game that plays similarly. Imagine this game with a whole lot more graphics, and recognizable songs, and a plastic axe to wail on!
There are OSX and Windows versions at this link:
