Something I saw from a Twitter Link - Dark Side Stained Glass

Friday, August 01, 2008

Not often do I visit Twitter, but this time was worth it. Look what someone linked to. I really think it's awesome.

There are so many cool drawings my kids (6 and 3) do that I could totally see someone doing this for a kid. Every drawing is like a little work of art, to a parent. At least to me. But some may consider me a bit of a pushover. What can I say?

Anyway, that is such an awesome 6yo drawing, I'm glad someone did that for him back in the day.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

Thursday, July 31, 2008

Someone/someblog had mentioned Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog to (at) me and I initially said "sweet", then forgot about it. Then, last night I was thumbing through Entertainment Weekly and saw an article on it. Immediately, and before I could forget again, I moved the whole 2 feet to my pc and went to drhorrible.com to see what could be seen.

There I was presented with a link to download it in iTunes or watch it there, as an embedded Hulu video. Well. If it's embedded, there is real Hulu content somewhere. Somewhere with a full-screen button (not a huge button, but rather one that magically enlarges the video to fill your screen).

I went to Hulu, searched, and found my target: Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog on Hulu.

Sarah and I watched it and, man oh man, was it funny. Sarah said it was great music for being a silly (in fairness, it is that, and she enjoyed it) show, and I had to agree. It was really good music set to a quirky, funny, angsty comedy.

I recommend it, especially if you like Joss Whedon, Neil Patrick Harris, or Nathan Fillion. Especially if your name is Sam.

*Edit*I remembered where I heard about this. WWdN (Will Wheaton dot Net) mentioned it in a very recent blog post. I suspected that, but didn't want to wrongly remember on me blog.

Holy Lost & Forgotten TV!

Wednesday, July 30, 2008

Today I used the Internet to find old shows that I could vaguely remember. My search turned up a 5-year-old post on GearBits (see title link) that gave me the name of an old show I always wanted to remember: Otherworld.

I totally remember being 8 and watching this show and thinking how awesome it was! Everything was similar but different. I'd say it was one of my first remembered forays into Sci-Fi.

Now I just need to locate some copies to watch. Netflix doesn't seem to have it (the whopping 8 eps?) so I must venture...back to the 'Net.
