Who Needs a TV to watch TV?

I vowed, solemnly, to myself, that I would take some time this weekend to actually sit down and post a few thoughts.

That was before I found out that they added all six seasons of Highlander to hulu.com. Wow. All I can say is, well, wow. I guess you get the short end of the stick on this one... because you know, there can be only one... and by that I mean only one thing I do online at a time.

But on that note, at what point do we just get rid of the TVs? You can watch all of the seasons of Lost @ ABC, Family Guy and Colbert @ Hulu, and I'm pretty sure that crazy Japanese game show is online as well (and yes, I'm downright giddy about that one, and I'd be sad I didn't see the premier, but, well, you know, its online).

I don't have anything else to say, 'cause I have to go watch Highlander. But I'll do my best to revisit this non-video web site once or twice again this weekend.

The Internet. Short for Idiots with Keyboards

Steve Jobs had me at hello. I'm not kidding. I've been infatuated with the iphone since it was announced, and now that its price point is dropping, its service is getting better, and our Verizon contract is just about up, I'm very seriously considering getting one (er, a couple).
Here's the thing; they're coming out in less than a month, and its almost impossible to get info directly from Apple or AT&T... you know, important stuff like how much will a plan cost, can you get a family plan, ect. I don't particularly like AT&T but I'm willing to sacrifice my dislike for a snazzy iphone. I still can't abide their website though, with 3ish weeks to go until release they should provide plenty more info.
So what do I do? I go to the tech sites (my fav Engadget, or gizmodo) to see if they have any insight to my not so pressing questions.
What annoys most about having to do this though is the comments that are involved... half of the posters HATE Apple, and the other half have filed papers to be adopted by Jobs. They're fighting is annoying and petty; its beyond reproach and I'm disgusted that I bother to read it.
But then again, why do I bother to read it? As always, the lesson is that the internet is full of good information, bad information, but mostly a bunch of idiots. Ugh. And I just want to know how much text messaging will cost.

Wow - what a night.

A lot more entertaining and interesting things will be said in the various corners of the internets, so I'll simply add my favorite sentimental moment of the night.

It got a little dusty in the O'Girard household right after midnight. After 2 minutes of being harassed by the ESPN reporter shortly after winning, Kevin Garnett spun around and found himself hugging Bill Russell. Garnett's words:

"I got my own now. I hope we did you proud"

Again - wow.
