USB Wine tap 2007-12-14 08:01:53 USB Wine: This is awesome. The page is in French, but you can get the idea by watching the video.  Choose from over 150 styles of wine.  Once you select one, open the tap on your USB wine dispenser, and out comes the wine you chose. A great way to taste wine and not have to leave home!

Hulu.com - watch television episodes online 2007-12-10 17:58:10 I signed up to beta test Hulu.com, a website for watch
ing television episodes
. The site has a huge selection of shows, mostly network shows like Heroes, The Office, The Simpson’s and tons more. There’s even older shows, like The A-Team (my personal favorite) and WKRP in Cincinnati. You’ll get the normal, every so often lag that you get from other sites like YouTube, but I find if I pause it for a bit, or use the pop-out feature, I don’t get the lag-skip that absolutely drives me crazy when I watch online
shows. Hulu is actually really cool, the video watching experience is nice - you can go full screen, or dim the lights, which dims down the area around the video. There are commercials, but I found I didn’t mind them, because Hulu added a countdown feature “your show will resume in 10, 9, 8…” It kind of made the commercial worth while sitting through. Create your own playlist, rate videos and even comment on them. There
No wonder..! 2007-12-10 10:53:14 My Mac at work has been pretty slow. Today I cleaned it up, and figured I should empty the trash.  Over 22,000 items were in there waiting to be emptied.  Oops!
p.s. I’ve also been slacking on the blog. I used to have plenty of time at home to blog, but this past month, I haven’t been on my computer much at all.  I’ll work on it, I think after December, things should slow down with my outside of work activities. Read more:wonder

Online flash game - Orbital 2008-01-07 10:45:39 Orbital: The idea of this game is to collect the various spheres (small glowing balls) that match the same color as your “orbitron” (large glowing ball), without hitting the other colored spheres. It sounded lame at first, but is actually pretty fun. One of those you’ll get caught up [...]
