Lost Fans Rejoice! Sneak preview of Lost Season 4

Add The Pipeline – TV Shows to your page

Honestly do I need to say anything in this post? Here’s the first 1.5 minutes of the first episode of Lost Season 4! Lost returns to ABC on January 31st at 8pm.The clip might not make sense at first, but oh it does at the end and it’s so good, forget those crappy Lost Minisodes…

NBC Videos Get a new player, it’s not Hulu

NBC has updated its video site with a brand-new player. These videos differ from it’s Hulu.com website as they are news oriented rather than fictitious shows.

Apparently NBC has truly learned how to go web 2.0! It’s allow third party websites to be able to embed their videos onto their own pages. Ok that’s not really an original idea or that exciting, but the player itself is responsive and the video quality is great. Of course there are ads and there is no way for video embedders to earn a percent off of the views they bring to these clips.

NBC definitely has the content that people want to watch, but if they could build a network like the AP’s The News Room – bloggers would be all over this service. If a website is bringing in viewers to your content, they should receive some sort of credit for doing so. The future for online video is going to be perfect for both content producers and syndicators, if syndicators are able to receive royalties for bringing views to ad supported videos created by the content producer.

We here at StuffWeLike will at some point have this capability for our media player The Pipeline so it’ll be interesting to see how that affects the usage of it.

Man loses Thumb, then Replaces it with Toe

Usually I’m not the one who calls things stupid, but this is just one of those stories that makes me wonder WTF?! I’m sure that adjusting to life without a thumb is tough, but why would you cut off your toe to replace it?

No gloves will ever fit your hand. Do you think your girlfriend will want to go out with a man who has a toe for a thumb? How do you pick your nose? When you reach up your toe will get in the way…

2008 has just begun and we already have a stupid real life story. Looks like it’s going to be a fantastic year.



Email Sucks

Ever go on a vacation and didn’t have a laptop, Blackberry, or any other device that you could read your email with? I thought it would be fun to go on vacation and escape it all. Little did I know that there would be a massive uncontrollable build up.  400 emails later, I began to write this post without a doubt that email is obsolete and inefficient.

I’ve stored thousands of emails all tucked away in folders and many, many sub-folders. Years later, I’ve come to realize, what’s the point?! Why do I store this information and forget about it?

Email is impersonal. Social networking websites have taken over and writing on someone’s wall is now more important that sending out forwards with hundreds of contacts. See their face, quickly respond, and forget the whole thing ever happened.

It’s great not having to pick out spam and delete pointless messages with social networking sites. I’ve just spent hours going through all of these emails. Random messages, some important while others not so much.

Reality has now come back to bite me in the ass.
