Movies on the move

You know, using a connected device using something like satellite network access would mean that you could watch streaming video anywhere you wanted. I don’t know what the connection would be like if you’re using it while watching in a moving car. But hopefully thanks to pre-caching you should be able to get a decent stream.

I’m sitting on my sofa watching Hercules with Arthur and thinking about our forthcoming trip to the UK. You see, we have a 4 hour drive and it’s going to be interesting keeping him busy through the voyage. The problem is that we have 2 six month old babies so our attention is probably going to be on driving and the babies. So, we’re looking for something for him to watch videos with. An internet based device would be ideal.

Would be fun to see if it works.

What's on TV?

It's Saturday evening and the kids are in bed. So it's time to watch some TV and we felt like a movie tonight. So we picked up on Braveheart and are watching that.

Yes, I know I watched it a few years back, but we're settling down to watch BraveHeart today; a film directed by Mel Gibson in which he plays the lead role. It's a story of a Scotsman named William Wallace who leads the Scots into victory against the English. One thing I wonder though is, didn't the Scots feel cold running around in skimpy kilts. I wouldn't go out in this weather dressed only in a couple of lab coats; just too cold.

It's the weekend!

I always love weekends and this one is promising to be excellent. The weather is great and we're planning on taking the babies to swim for their first time this afternoon. I also have a couple of projects I might get underway in the meantime. I swear I have more websites I manage than that orange county web designer I met the other day. But then, it is what I enjoy doing, so I really don't mind.

So, how are you spending your weekend?
