JoostJoost – Way Cool. What is it? Well, it’s a Beta Internet TV service that has some really cool partners so far (Comedy Central, Adult Swim, some Independant Film groups, music, etc…) And the interface and functionality are impressive as well. It streams full screen video to your computer, but uses the space to the sides and bottom for extra information. It’s very intuitive and has many cool features like instant access to all channels and program descriptions, the ability to chat and learn more about what your viewing, and just an all around cool look and feel to the web Tv viewing experience. At some point I’d like to hook this up to my main TV and see how it looks, but for now the experience of viewing some full screen content on the laptop is quite enjoyable.

Joost was in the news recently as, even though they are still in Beta, they’ve landed a new VH1 series (called I Hate My 30′s) before it airs on TV. I know Adobe has a video program coming out soon, and there are probably others, but I’d say Joost has a jump on the competition and seems to be doing it right!…

By the way, I’ve got invites if anyone is interested in taking part in the beta program!..(Just leave a comment or shoot me an email)…

When Vacation Throws You For A Loop

Who knew 8 days of relaxation, beachbound laziness, beautiful skies, great company and fantastic foods could throw things out of wack? I’m of course referring to the dreaded adjustment back to real life after what was the most leisurely down time we’ve had in a long time.

That being said, I’ve of course shirked all bloggy responsibilities (of which there really are none, save for you 3 or 4 folks who might browse this page). I really want to kick this site into gear and now that I’ve been back a week, there should be no more excuses.

So here’s an excuse… Busy at work, busy at (new) home, busy this weekend, etc… It’s even becoming busy while sleepytime…

Nevertheless, starting next week (fingers crossed), I’ll get the ball rolling again. Gotta rant about the amazing food had in Myrtle (say Umberto’s 3 times quickly in the mirror), the crazy business (or lack thereof) going on in the TV world the past few weeks, bands I’ve (too lately) discovered and other music bits, and the tale of times in our little area of Ohio… Plus photos and schtuff…
