Pretty Cool

I discovered www.hulu.com today. Actually someone pointed me in their direction... it's a web site where you can watch television shows from many different networks and producers on your computer... when you want... the office, the apprentice, house, the simpsons, they all seem to be there... more importantly, for me, they've got FUEL TV... FREE! I use to have cable, before discovering the wonders of over the air (OTA) HDTV. When I paid for TV, I paid an extra $10- a month for access to FUEL TV, hated doing it, but it was one of the few stations on cable I enjoyed. I've not missed cable, but I still miss FUEL TV... but not any more.

Don't know a thing about hulu.com, I've spent less than ten minutes at their site. Am looking forward to checking it out in the weeks to come. Guess you have to receive an invite to participate in the beta version I'm using, otherwise, there's something called www.openhulu.com, filled with commercials. I just checked it out- seemed ok to me, everything from 24 to WKRP In Cincinnati, all free. Didn't try watching any of it.

This isn't an advertisement... or an endorsement... just a "golly gee whiz I found this cool new site." And I'm allowed to invite some folks to join me on this beta, commercial free, adventure. So... if you'd like to fill up on The 808, Philip, or never miss SNL again, sleepy head... let me know, and I'll put you in for an invite. Take control of your TV!

I'm going to look into an hdmi cable and a wireless keyboard for my laptop and lay around and watch surfing all day long Monday! I've got a couple years of FUEL TV to catch up on!
