The Shape of Things to Come: I am so excited about a news release from ABC yesterday. They are going to rebroadcast some shows the day after they broadcast, for FREE! This is a business model that just makes sense. They will load the shows with commercials, so there really isn't a loss in revenue. In fact, with so many using TiVo these days with a hack to forward past the commercials, it just makes sense. The two shows that they are going to begin with (in May) are Desperately Horny Housewives and LOST. I certainly can't get excited about the housewife show but LOST will be cool. It will be interesting to see the quality. I would expect that a really good quality would be a huge download, and I am uncertain how that will fin into their model. But, I suspect that they will soon offer other shows for free and hopefully soon you can just click the games that I want to watch, live. Why not? Is there an advantage for people to see a game and commercials on TV or the web? I don't see it.

All of the sudden the 60 gigs of hard drive space on my laptop is looking mighty small.
