It happens. You start something then it wallows for awhile. Such a fate has befallen this blog. I am working to restore some more daily posting habits. It won’t be easy. Baby #2 is about to enter our life, the bathroom renovation project I started in July still isn’t done (although floor tiling starts this [...]

Netflix just rolled out Instant Watching (Watch Now). I got a chance yesterday to try it out, thanks to this tip from Hacking Netflix.

Quality isn’t too bad…. I have a 6mpbs connection, although Time Warner sucks so badly that it really tops out at around 2-3mbps most of the time (read: almost always). Too much [...]

I’m glad people that people listen to are finally talking about moving on from using page views as the be-all metric for a website’s success.

It is time that the queue becomes more mainstream.
I don’t want to add it to my cart. I don’t want to add it to my wishlist. I want to add it to my queue. In a fascinating way the queue makes it feel real and fulfilling until such a time arises that I decide to [...]
