Recently I was looking on Google video looking for something good to watch, I came across a show that appeared on Channel 4 in England. The show is called Human Footprint and it was a very insightful show. The idea behind the special is to show you how much stuff you will use in your life, from how much you will eat, how much milk you will drink to how much hair you will grow in your lifetime and how many times you will fall in love (which is three times in a life). The show blends a good amount of humor (if you like English humor) into the hour long program and kept my hooked for the whole run of it. If you have an hour and are looking for a intriguing look into what the average consumption of material over a lifetime (at least a British lifetime) give this program a look.

Hulu
So a few posts back I posted that I had some invites to Joost which at the time was invite only but now is open to anyone, so if you haven't checked it out you should. Now, though, I am on to a new web based service called Hulu. Hulu is a great service which uses flash based video streaming to give you access to tons of content, right now mostly from NBC and Fox. It is still invite only so if anyone is interested in joining go a head and send an email at gonzo4god@yahoo.com or just leave a comments and i will be happy to send an invite.

Simple Thought
I was watching TV tonight with my dad, we were watching a program on the possibility of parallel dimensions. While watching this program a thought entered into my mind, if we try to explain every mystery in the universe there won't be anymore mystery in the universe left. Now that I am looking at it written out it loses something in the translation from my mind to the page but it is a thought that has been with me ever since I watched the program. Maybe I will be able to put it in better words later.
