just me. my current interests and stories for the interwebs.
I’m excited to watch something new tonight while I observe my self mandated quarantine. Pretty short synopsis but at the same time the trailer proves to pull a few heartstrings. Thoughts on it later.
Years of monotonous work and a loveless marriage turns a once vibrant man into a shell of his former self.
That lists the major players in the market, and demonstrates where Apple sits in the price list. The only company selling an HD-only streaming media device above $50 is Apple. The only company selling a steaming media device without HDR above $90 is Apple.
There is no way to justify spending $150 to enter Apple’s TV ecosystem in the fall of 2016 on hardware alone. When Google is making a streaming UHD HDR player that costs LESS than a replacement Siri Remote, there is a problem with the hardware Apple is selling.
Maybe Apple should just buy Tivo instead of launching the TV App without Netflix integration. At least, Tivo got it right in content search. And yes, even I am surprised that we don't own an Apple TV in ANY iteration. If you care to know, we love our Tivo Roamio, Amazon Fire Stick and our six year old Samsung LED Television along with Sony's PS4. These devices cover our streaming needs exceptionally well.
Since the possibility of me being in New York in February at an unknown crashpad location within 2 hours of JFK (and apparently LGA?), I’m starting to plan my time wisely. Not only will I be blogging a bit more here and there but I’ll have some time to read and study and of course, binge watch some television. Wired just released a “How To” on binge watching Star Trek The Original Series and since I wasn’t a huge fan of that series, I thought I’d give it a shot. Why not? Of course, there are these really bad episodes to get through too. =(
I forget to mention, Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown is pretty awesome and you can bet that I’ll be catching up on that too! Catch all four seasons on Amazon($) or watch the first three on Netflix. Season five is currently filiming and I’ll admit, the first few have been pretty awesome. I can’t say that I actually watched all his other shows religiosly, but this one, it’s fantastic! Take my word for it.
What shows are you binge watching or planning to binge watch? If you want to plan out how long it'll take, check out tiii.me. Others in my list include catching up on Arrow & Flash, finishing up House of Cards (which I've been saving) and The Wire. If you like anime, CrunchyRoll is pretty random and amazing. I'll have some posts about my latest series that I'm watching.
