Book Reading 2.0

I have started reading books via email. I heard about this through Kevin Rose on Diggnation. If you're like me, you have a challenge making time to sit down and read books, however you read a billion emails a day. That's the beauty of what DailyLit does. You sign up for the book of your choosing and every day you receive a 5 minute chunk of said book to read right in your inbox. This is especially handy for those of us carrying Blackberry or some other type of converged phone/email device.

Check it out. www.dailylit.com

Cool New "Watch Now" feature on Netflix makes it harder for me to jump to Blockbuster.

Hacking NetFlix : Breaking: Netflix Launches "Watch Now" Downloads

I've been with Netflix for several years and it's one of the only service type companies that I have worked with and had no major issues. I think they are great. However, since Blockbuster allows you to walk your sent movies into a local store and swap them for others while waiting for your next qued movies to arrive, you get twice as many movies for the same amount of money. I live two blocks away from a blockbuster and even though we have a good cable tv package with on demand and the netflix, there are still times when I want to get another movie and I end up walking to Blockbuster. I have been considering switching services. This new Watch Now feature could change that. Only time will tell, since I don't have access to the feature yet.

IT Crowd DVD subtitles in leet

The IT Crowd DVDs have just shipped -- with subtitles in leet! The IT Crowd is a convulsively funny British TV show about sysadmins, created by Graham Linehan, who is best known for writing the classic show Father Ted.

The IT Crowd's first six episodes ran last year on Channel 4, and was widely shared online, resulting in major commercial success, critical acclaim, and a renewed contract for another season of the show.

I was privileged to consult a little on the show, and I was able to connect Graham with uber-geek Yoz Grahame, who suggested that the disc carry subtitles in leet (or 1337), the letter/number substitution code used by gamers, hackers and other net-dwellers.

The disc is region-locked to Europe, but I hear that a US version is coming shortly. Link (Thanks, Damien!)

Sprint Winning Wireless Broadband War

"Faster EVDO revision A deployment, fewer restrictions"

Great article on the differences between the Sprint and Verizon Wireless Broadband products. I have known for quite some time that we are providing a better offering, and I am delighted that some else is seeing the same thing.
