The Wire - “That was for Joe.”. If you haven’t watched the series finale of The Wire and don’t want any spoilers, don’t watch this. It was probably my favorite scene in the finale.

So I’ve been meaning to write-up some thoughts on hulu.com since I got a beta invite back in December. Hulu is a joint venture between NBC and FOX to create a legal online video hub for their content. The main draw of the site is the content. Every show that’s currently on NBC and FOX is regularly updated on hulu. They also have a solid back catalog which including every episode of Arrested Development and a couple seasons of the A-Team. Their also added new content almost every day. The video quality is quite good (fullscreen on my macbook looks fine) and download speeds have been awesome (I’ve only had buffering issues once or twice since december).

The site is nice and clean and has a couple features that I’ve really grown to like. If you close your browser while watching an episode, when you return to that episode it’ll re-queue it 10 seconds before you left last time. I’ve even got into a few shows via hulu which I wouldn’t have watched otherwise (30 Rock and Burn Notice come to mind). It seems the biggest problem with the site is that it’s only available in the US (which will probably drive me nuts soon enough).

Anyways, hulu is no longer in beta and anyone can use it (that is, anyone in the US). I highly recommend checking it out.

Lessons to learn from a do-it-yourself curry house - (37signals). The UK version of Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares is really quite good (though Gordon somehow manages to take his shirt off during the show more often than not).

The Wire’s War on the Drug War - TIME. watching the last 3 episodes of the wire was one of the first things i did after getting back from argentina.

Comparison of Ron Paul versus Clay Davis of THE WIRE. I was looking for a clip of Clay Davis and came across this. I found it very funny.

Letterman Pursuing a Deal With Writers - New York Times. man, why does viacom have to own the daily show? We desperately need the Daily Show back before the New Hampshire primary.

The start of [Heroes] season 2 is so bad that it retroactively ruins season 1. it’s kinda like Weezer’s 2005 release Make Believe, it’s so bad that it makes you re-evaluate the quality of their previous albums.

not the daily show on the writers strike.

60 Minutes takes a dump on “millennials” - (37signals). when i saw this piece the other day i thought it was laughably bad. some really subjective reporting by a quality news source. quite sad.
