Glee

I was very surprised with how good Glee was tonight. It was subtily
funny, very touching, and the classic show down; the under dogs face
off against some pretty high odds. I am really looking forward to
catching this show. Anyone else have a chance to see it? Fox is
advertising if you missed it you can catch it on Fox.com all summer
long and the series will start in the fall. Sound off in the
comments with what you thought.

[Updated] NutshellMail Adds MySpace Status Updats via Email


Media_httpnutshellmai_dvurj

NutshellMail, the site that "transforms your primary email account into a universal inbox so you can retrieve messages and manage all your accounts in one place," has added the ability to post status updates to MySpace via email according to their newsletter sent out today. Nutshell is interesting as it centralizes all of your social sites to your inbox. It currently supports Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Gmail, Yahoo, and many others. The service is free and seems to be expanding it's services pretty frequently.

I would love to see some further integration with Twitter status updates (like Topify) and Facebook but [A]ll in all it's a pretty solid way to archive and maintain your online presence.

Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope" Released

Here is the scoop via Lifehacker.




by Kevin Purdy on 4/23/09


Media_httpcachegawker_elnjo

The Jaunty Jackalope is on the loose, bringing a Linux desktop with streamlined notifications, a speedier file system, and other upgrades to the free desktop. Grab a live CD and try it out for yourself.

As happens every six months or so, the official Ubuntu servers are swamped with upgraders and downloaders this morning, so you'd be quite the polite person if you upgraded from a mirror server or grabbed any of the Ubuntu 9.04 ISO images from an official BitTorrent stream. Thinking about adding Ubuntu to your boot options, but don't want to mess up XP and/or Vista? Check out Adam's guide to triple-booting all three of those. You can get even more risk-free by running Ubuntu 9.04 in a virtual machine.

Ubuntu is, as always, completely free, runs on most any x86-based system.

You Tube Shows vs. Hulu, the coming battle fronts

Some simple thoughts, rough draft ideas about Google's recent You Tube shows. I, for one, am very excited for this service! I see a plethora of opportunities here. You Tube's reach is greater than anyone else currently in this market. If they can expand the content and get a digital library up that bests Hulu, there is a very solid chance this could be the next big thing. You Tube has permeated to so many different platforms the possibilities are endless. You can stream content to computers, TV's, phones and more! In all of these devices, Google has the lead. The infrastructure is there, Google just needs to leverage it. I have an iPhone app for You Tube. Hulu (rumors not withstanding) does not have one available. And thus far the only video app out there on the iPhone that is decent is the You Tube app. Joost has an iPhone offering that is confusing and not well rounded. It also lacks the content that you can find on Hulu. Again, You Tube has the advantage on all kinds of other devices and to not leverage them would be a serious stumble.

Either way I look forward to being able to watch my TV and movies where and when I want without the nuisance of sitting at home. Any thoughts? Add your input in the comments.
