Web TV: January 2009 Archives
History will be written tomorrow and there will be no shortage of witnesses to this monumental moment in American history. It's been reported that ticket's to President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration tomorrow are selling in the 5 digit price range! So if you're like me and cutting back due to the current economic climate, you will most likely be watching the swearing-in of the 44th President of the United States in some other manner.
That said, I've prepared a general guide to the inauguration online.

Boxee is a startup trying to break new ground in the way you will consume digital media. I think they are definitely on the right path. Once you install the software (50mb download), currently only available for Mac, Linux, and Apple TV (though a PC version is being tested), it allows you to access, as well as stream media from multiple sources, such as your computer, LAN, and the internet (Hulu, Youtube, Netflix, CBS, Last.FM, Flikr, etc).
What makes Boxee great and stand out from the rest is that you can navigate through this media center using the apple remote control that comes with your Macbook. The interface is so easy and well thought out. Within minutes I was a pro user.

I've never been more excited about an application. Go download this NOW!
By the way, for those of you that want to set up your own internet TV but don't know how I will be posting a video tutorial in the coming weeks.
My favourite new thing is streaming the "Animated Music Video" channel on Crackle.com. Sony Picture's next-gen entertainment site. Crackle also offers lots of other great original content as well which I will cover in a future post but enjoy this for now.
