TV REINVENTED: How television is
adapting to the Internet!
As many of us look to stretch
our dollar a bit further, our money spent on entertainment is often
cut. However, entertainment is a good way to relieve stress and get a
quick break from the real world. Increasingly, the fee paid for an
Internet connection is offering a bigger return on the entertainment
dollar. Improved connection speeds have created a mushroom of online
content that allows users to watch streaming news broadcasts, missed TV
shows, webisodes, viral videos (i.e. YouTube), free online games (and
competitions), blogs, and chat rooms - to name a few. Everywhere you
turn, someone is trying to get their movie, TV show, or '15 minutes'
noticed on the web. Television alone has morphed from episode summaries
and casting lists on a single webpage to deluxe sites with missed
episodes online, behind the scenes footage, games, screensavers,
additional back stories and character development, and much more. So
who is leading the pack with the best sites and content? Who is
side-stepping the pack altogether? You might be surprised!

Paint-On Insulation: Is It Truly Green?
Winter is here, and if that utility bill
is high, you are probably already troubleshooting problem areas of your
home. One of largest contributors to drafty rooms is a lack of
insulation. Insulation is designed to stop air passage through ceilings,
walls, and the floor. The intention is to keep the right air where you
want it in each season. Obviously, the windows and heating source are
also important to maintaining an overall energy efficient program, but
having the right insulation is a key factor.
In
existing homes, it can be difficult to go back and insulate after
the fact. If attic space allows, you can blow-in insulation.
Under-floors and in-between walls can be difficult as well. Even
with your best efforts, there is bound to be some location that is
hard to reach. What if you had a product that you could apply
from the exterior? |
