Alright, we made it. For whatever reason (maybe because the phone didn't ring at 4:00 this morning), I'm feeling pretty good today. I just wish I could say the same for DeAnne. She's still fighting a cold and it just doesn't seem to be getting any better.
I think I've mention Hulu before, but I'm going to talk about it again. In trying to figure out the best way to catch up on some of the shows we missed, I decided to check and see if Hulu had any of them. Not only did they have them all, but they were commercial free and really good quality. It's pretty amazing acutally. When you start to think about it, in a couple of years, the standard methods of recieving television shows may be completly gone and replaced by web distribution. DVRs have completly changed how people watch tv. They're no longer have to watch a show at the time it comes on, but they do have to set a timer to record it. Web distribution takes that a step futher though in that you don't have to even set a timer, you just go look for the show you want to watch when you want to watch it and it's there. When you consider that cell phones are getting close to having full blown web access (or already do in the case of the iPhone), being able to watch what you want when you want where you want is just a matter of time. The biggest roadblock is can the studios find a way to make money off of it without making it so much of a hassle for the users that the users don't want to bother with it. So far, Hulu is a good start. Let's hope the studios keep an open mind and attitude about pricing and advertisements.
Have a good Friday and a good wekend. Oh, and War Eagle.
