TV is Awesome
Even though Rachel and I have been loving the whole TV show on DVD thing only, I think it’s time we look into getting cable back.
We are sitting in our Las Vegas hotel room watching friends re-runs, and it’s awesome. Along with all the flashing lights outside of our hotel room.
OK, sorry - I had to write that. I will get back to doing some more product management blogging soon, I promise.
Watching TV on Your Lap
There’s just something so cool about watching TV on your lap. In addition to getting my new Macbook Pro this week, I also found out that SlingMedia (the makers of SlingBox) release the beta client for OS X. Sweet!
There’s nothing better than watching David Letterman guess what kind of pies his mother made for Thanksgiving. I wish that everyone could have as great of a first American Thanksgiving experience as I did.
To all those wondering what the different is between Canadian and American thanksgiving, I don’t think there’s much. I’d say sports, but The Leafs weren’t even playing tonight, and there’s a whole slew of NFL football thats available.
And for all those thinking about how cold it is — trust me, it could be much colder. You could be in Antarctica.
Prime Time Ads
Quite the advertising time the networks are having. Wow. It seems as though the new ABC show “Commander in Chief” has a fake blog setup. I also read about a whole bunch of stuff going on with My Name is Earl on NBC. I will give it the fact that it was a funny premiere. I just think the advertising opportunities being used online nowadays are quite cool, and pushing marketing deparments to the limits. I mean, having a fake blog running (with fake bloggers) about President Mackenzie Allen is quite interesting — kind of like a prime time Blair Witch Project.
I’m dying to see more and more of this — the crossover of the fake TV world into the real world. Bloggers, prepare to start jacking up your entry-level salaries. Companies are staring the hunt for you.
It’s only a matter of time before Harvard graduates say, “yah, I have an MBA — but you’ll really be interested in my minor in blogging; I can take your company to the top of Technorati!”
Yikes.
