New Covert
Interesting [link|http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewMovie?id=185731389&s=143441|animation short] that's free at iTunes. This might be like the "free song of the week", so check it out sooner than later.

A friend at work asked if I was watching Eureka, a new series on Sci-Fi. I haven't, he said it would be worth my time. I was going to watch the pilot online via [link|http://www.scifi.com/eureka/|Sci Fi's site], but I noticed it's [link|http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewTVSeason?id=185836174&s=143441|free at iTunes] is well, so I've got that coming down.

New Quite a bit of free stuff at iTunes

In fact, they have a section devoted to all the free videos.

As for 'Covert', it's pretty cool and well done given the simple graphical style. There are quite a few other good short films up at iTunes.

New Added to my DVR
Eureka is quite good and has been added to my DVR's list of shows to record.

It looks like there is a new episode tomorrow night, then on Wednesday the prior 6 episodes are showing back-to-back starting 5pm CST.

You're typing on a device that stores trillions of pieces of data and makes billions of computations per second with the ability to grab data on almost anything from around the world in milliseconds, using electricity transmitted from hundreds of kilometers through wires on towers dozens of meters tall connected to megastructures that do things like burn coal as fast as entire trains can pull into the yard, or spin in the wind with blades the size of jumbo jets, or the like, which were delivered to their location by vehicles with computer-timed engines burning a fuel that was pumped up halfway around the world from up to half a dozen kilometers underground and locked into complex strata (through wells drilled by diamond-lined bores that can be remote-control steered as they go), shipped around the world in tankers with volumes the size of large city blocks and the height of apartment complexes, run through complex chemical processes in unimaginable quantities, distributed nationwide and sold to you at a corner store for $1.80 a gallon, which you then pay for with a little piece of microchipped plastic, if not a smartphone, which does all of the aforementioned computer stuff but in a box the size of your hand that tolerates getting beaten up in your pocket all day.

But technology never seems to advance...
