The Simpsons, TV, etc

If you are a fan of The Simp­sons, you might want to read this. You can now watch every episode of The Simp­sons online for free. I don’t know how they are get­ting away with that, and it might not last very long, but it’s there and work­ing, commercial-free. I never knew how Santa’s Lit­tle Helper got his name until last night.

On the TV tip, as the new sea­sons begin to rev up, I am eagerly await­ing Bat­tlestar Galac­tica. In the mean time, I am watch­ing the DVD set of Fire­fly that I acquired from Tar­get for 18 clams. I am dig­ging it, though it sad­dens me know­ing that only one sea­son ever existed…

What are you look­ing for­ward to this fall on TV?

 

Assorted Stuff

A buddy from one of my favorite online geek hang­outs, the Broad­band Reports Web Devel­oper board, has been col­lect­ing VW com­mer­cials on his site for VW lovers. I’ve always been par­tial to VW’s, hav­ing learned to drive in a ’67 Bee­tle, and their com­mer­cials area good reflec­tion of their unique­ness in the auto industry.

This is my last week at my cur­rent job, and I am excited. The future is wide open and I am look­ing for­ward to try­ing to make it on my own. I have been work­ing hard at drum­ming up some web design busi­ness, and have 6 sites I am cur­rently work­ing on. I also have a few other irons in the fire, and will write more about those as they (if they?) develop.

Next week is the big week: An Event Apart is on Mon­day (though I am wait­ing to find out if I still get to go since I won’t be an offi­cial RSIS employee any­more, even though it has been paid for), and Dinosaur Jr. is on Fri­day. Been look­ing for­ward to this for a loooong time.

 

Battlestar Galactica

If you are not watch­ing the new Bat­tlestar Galac­tica, you are miss­ing out on the best TV show since, well, the orig­i­nal Bat­tlestar Galac­tica. Why aren’t you watch­ing it? Do you know what you are missing?

  • There is no cheesy music. The music is very per­cus­sive and com­pli­ments the show well.
  • Each episode leaves you hanging.
  • The tech level is real­is­tic, and the mil­i­tary aspect is very Naval, which Chris likes.
  • The Cylons are insane.
  • The plot twists are insane.
  • The actors are actu­ally good.

Ron Moore, the pro­ducer of the show, used to direct some of the best Star Trek: The Next Gen­er­a­tion and Deep Space Nine episodes. He knows his sci-fi.

I keep try­ing to tell Ali­cia that she would like it, as it’s not just space­ships and geekery.

Well?
