More Networks Flocking to iTunes

Each week more and more television networks are joining the iTunes video store. This week Fox is offering up 24, Prison Break, Unan1mous, and Stacked. Fox Classics has Buffy the Vampire Slayer (excellent show), Firefly, and Lost in Space. The NBA playoffs are covered along with EJ, Kenny, and the Chuckster analyzing games on TNT’s Inside the NBA. If you need humor, Saturday Night Live has the best of their TV Funhouse series featuring Ace and Gary, the Ambiguously Gay Duo.

I still think once iTunes breaks into the Korean soap opera business then it’ll open up a whole new base of customers. You’d see a bunch of older Japanese men and women toting around iPods, watching “Save the Last Dance for Me” and “Shooting for the Stars” while drinking coffee at McDonalds at 6:00 in the morning.

That’s Some Serious Bingo

Check out this bingo setup! It’s pretty high tech if you ask me, but I’m no bingo junkie.

This rig has a web cam mounted to show the bingo ball as it pops up. Never knew bingo needed a computer mouse either and the entire thing had backup power via an UPS. I must be an old school, low tech bingo player. Gimme one card and a bunch of coins, and I’m set.

B-1 winner!

Blogs in the Enterprise

I recently found this section on ZDNet focused on Web 2.0 technologies in the enterprise. This post looks at the use of blogs in the work environment for the purpose of publishing corporate communication, situation reports, project management, and more.

Looks like there’s a lot of resources here to reference.

Kid’s Day and Kau Inoa

I missed seeing this firsthand but for today’s Kid’s Day drive, KHON2’s Manolo Morales and Trini Kaopuiki are having their annual challenge to see who can sell more newspapers and drum up the most donations. The KHON cameras were following Manolo as he started his sales campaign around Downtown Honolulu.

He approaches one guy drinking coffee and wearing a Kau Inoa t-shirt and asks him if he wants to buy the Kid’s Day edition of the Honolulu Advertiser. The guy replies, “Why? I no can read.”

Then Manolo asks, “Then how about making a donation?“

The guy digs around his pockets and says, “I only get quarter.”

Kau Inoa!

Free ABC Television Shows


ABC is now streaming four of their popular television shows on the Internet. Alias, Lost, Desperate Housewives, and Commander in Chief are now available at ABC’s streaming site. Where is ABC’s other big hit, Grey’s Anatomy?

Supposedly, this is a trail run from May 1 to June 30, and the shows have embedded advertisements. If you want these shows ad-free, you can buy them for $1.99 per episode (or subscribe to a cost effective Season Pass) from the iTunes Music Store.
