Drive to the Drive-Through? I’ll take an External HDD and my XBOX 360, thanks all the same

It’s September, and that’s storage month on 1to10.  This post is about using storage to serve both your backup and media needs.  How do you watch movies and TV shows?  Broadcast television?  Cable television?  Over-the-top (OTT) services like VUDU, Netflix, or Amazon Unbox?  Yeah, me too.  But on a scale from 1to10, my favorite thing [...]

More To Love?

More To Love?  Really?  Why don’t they just call it Fatties in Heat™ and get it over with?
Now, I’m not trying to be “fattist.”  I struggled with weight as a kid, and I understand the pain of being heavy, and of being made fun of for it.  I’m not having a go at the participants, or [...]

Netflix on the new XBOX 360 Live – disappointing so far

On a scale from 1 to 10, the Netflix / Xbox experience is slathered in weaksauce.
I have an Xbox 360. When I heard about the new Xbox Live experience (new UI, new architecture, more features, more customization, etc.) I thought it sounded really cool. I’ve always thought it was a neat product, but [...]

Hulu, a video website

My Review: 9

I first read about Hulu, as usual, on Techcrunch. I also go my invite to the private Hulu beta back in January by reading an article Mark Hendrickson wrote for Techcrunch.  Many people across the blogosphere have now written about Hulu, largely with good things to say.   I don’t plan to be [...]

Unexpected Film Roles for Jews – Part 1

My Review: 9
“Hallo. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”
Many of us have heard that line hundreds of times. He says it a total of six times throughout the movie, and I’ve seen the movie at least 27 times… you do the math. But did you know [...]

Metalocalypse

My Review: A Brutal 9
A friend at work turned me onto a cartoon on Adult Swim, it’s called: Metalocalypse.

This show is awesome. It’s about a fictional metal band called Dethklok – they’re the greatest metal band ever and “represent the 12th largest economy in the world.” They are forever in search ways to [...]
