Ask Your Doctor! Do it! Do it NOW!

I've decided that I should take other people's advice more. And whom should I trust more than the people I see on TV in those advertisements for various drugs? They all tell me to "talk to my doctor" about their poison.

So I will. I'm going to make a list of every drug they advise me about. I don't care if the drug isn't meant for me; if the ad says "talk to your doctor" then I will.

Fun with Kings

"Kings", after only one season, is being canceled. The complex plot of the corrupt world behind a absolute monarchy actually makes for a great narrative. I'v eben watching the season on Hulu, and I've caught two things so far:

1. Kings runs Windows



Apparently, the press uses the Windows Logon screen and Windows Media Player 10 to take notes on the escalation of war with Gath.

2. Gossip website!
In Episode 3, the princess clicks on a link to 200meters.com and sees Captain Shepherd kissing outside a nightclub.

As it turns out, someone at NBC actually registered 200meters.com, and set it up for Kings. That's actually rather cool.

EDIT: But did I mention that she opens 200meters.com in INTERNET EXPLORER 7? No wonder there are so many problems!

Thank You, Time Warner!

Usually I'm not one to support a company with a stranglehold on its customers, but I just found the most useful thing. Channel 1000 is well-known as the movies-on-demand channel, where Time Warner will stream your movies to your TV, and charge your TV bill for the movie. It's insanely simple.

However, I just found that channel 1008 is FREE movies-on-demand. Sure, there a re far less and more crappy movies, but I just found that TNT was providing "Groundhog Day"! I love that movie! It's wonderful when you watch a movie that you didn't pay a cent for.

The best part: TNT added commercials in the movie, but someone goofed at Time Warner and made it possible to fast forward through the commercials. Woo hoo!
