Tonight is the long-awaited Winnie awards at Cinespace and I am currently piecing together the trophy that I will be presenting. It’s gonna be a blast. As will Twiistup 3, January 16, where there will be awesome giveaways like Rock Band and most-likely a solid stable of presenters (showoffs) as we’ll find out this afternoon [the list is here. Below is a goofy video of myself and Heathervescent at the most recent Twiistup in August.
Checking Out Hulu
Playing around with Hulu and so far, I quite like it. I don’t have much for a TV or TiVo and I sure don’t have cable so it’s nice to have an opportunity to watch high-quality content on demand with very limited (if any) commercial interruption. And, it’s not just FOX and NBC, there are 70 or so content providers, including a few that I actually might check out. Recent episodes of The Office and Family Guy are embedded below.

The full video of his “fireside chat” with CEO Eric Schmidt at the Googleplex this week is now up (posted below).
