Netflix

David — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 22:24:56 +0000

A few weeks ago Netflix announced they were axing a nice feature of theirs that allowed customers to set up separate queues for each family member.

Today I got an email saying that they are going back on that decision because their customers told them that they would miss the feature.

I just thought I’d post this somewhere public: Netflix, you kick ass.

New Theme

I’m trying out a new theme, complete with a new masthead graphic! Like the old graphic, this one was made using Blender. The full version of it (if you’re interested) is here.

Also I’m going to try in the next week to upload new family pictures!

Who says you can’t change?

Lost

I have a love/hate relationship with the show Lost. On one hand, it’s quite a compelling story that keeps you returning from week to week. On the other hand, the characters are dumb as hell. So the show started season 1 with a mysterious monster that tore whoever wandered into the jungle to shreds. Then season 2, they wandered throughout the jungle like they owned the place, not worrying about the monster. Then they find out said monster is really some mysterious black plume of smoke that can somehow pick people up and toss them around like rag dolls. Finally they meet up with the original inhabitants of the island but they don’t even MENTION the damn thing.

I used Comic Life (came with my Mac) to show the scene that I wish they would put in the series once and for all. I know everyone agrees with me.

I had this idea today in the car, but it seems someone thought of it first! What fun!

Ava Being Followed

For some reason, Ava LOVES for people to follow her when she is being carried. This is a typical journey up to bed for her.

I heard Ava say “dada” today. I know its just her learning to make new sounds with her mouth, but damn. It’s awesome.
