Hulu

So, I'm not a huge fan of Flash Video. Personally I think the quality is not the best, and it is only playable if you are connected to the internet and are using a web browser. However, given all of that I was recently Invited to the private beta of Hulu. This is an interesting attempt to put full length TV shows on a website that is not owned by the TV station. Also they allow embedding episodes into blogs, websites, etc.

For your viewing pleasure I present a sample of embedded Hulu video. This is an episode of House (currently the most recent one aired on TV) called "Games"

Cake

At work today we had a Christmas celebration for a great year. Unfortunately I wasn't as responsible for the great year since I've only been here 6 months. You may be wondering what's up with the cake. Well, you can get custom pictures put on a cake. Most people use pictures of their children or spouse, my company chose to use a graph. The graph signifies unfixed defects. The good news is that the graph is going down. This was our reason to celebrate. We went to a bowling alley and played a few frames. I actually did pretty well for myself. I scored a 152 on the first game and a 112 on the second. Not bad for not playing in a while.
