30 Rock returns April 10th @ 8:30pm



I can't get enough of this show, I've been catching up with season 2 on hulu. 30 Rock has such an awesome cast, but I don't know where it would be without Alec Baldwin, he is flat out amazing.

hulu


I got my hulu account a few months ago and now they have come out of beta and have gone public, so anyone can sign up for an account. What is hulu you might ask, here is what they say "Hulu offers U.S. consumers a vast selection of premium video content, on demand, free and ad-supported: full episodes of TV shows, both current and classic, full-length movies, thousands of clips, and much more." I've seen The Big Labowski, The Office, Simpsons, Arrested Developement and Family Guy to name a few available to watch. It is really cool and the best thing is that it's free. Watching movies you have the choice to play in 480P and you can go full screen on any program you are watching.

Daylight Savings Time - What is it good for?

Every spring I do not look forward to Daylight Savings Time (DST). The whole loosing a hour of sleep in the morning does not treat me well. The government tells us that it saves us energy use and I say BS. For the past few weeks when I get up at 7am I don't have to turn on too many lights (1 to be precise), as for the sun is bright and I can see well. Now that DST has taken affect I will be waking up at the same time, but it will be dark and I will have to turn on all of my lights to see. Hmmm... That is more power than I was using yesterday. Then I read stories like this where a study was done by the University of California in Santa Barbara, they found that DST in fact uses more energy than without it. [Story is here] [Or here]So, tell me why do we still do this, we are not using candles to see like we were when Ben Franklin started the DST. Come on, we need to eliminate the Daylight Savings Time for good.

The Bourne Conspiracy game



If this game plays as good as it looks, then sign me up. It looks similar to Uncharted for the PS3, which had really good controls, so it has my attention.

Lego Batman

As some of you may know how many hours that I have spent on Lego Star Wars, Lego Batman looks like it will be the next game that takes all of my free time this fall after Lego Indiana Jones comes out in June. I don't know what draws me to these games, but I spend hours replaying levels to get 100%.

MacBook Air

If only it was priced @ $1199, I might be tempted to pick one up. It
seems to be amazing.
