Just Temporary

Right now I am working on an update to last years "What I'm Watching" post which could take me awhile, but you can at least take a look at what I was watching last year and laugh at my naivete. Just for the fun of it, here is my "Why I'm not watching that" and "What do I think of television?" posts (just in case you haven't gone back to the beginning of my blog like any good reader should have) to give you a deeper look at my process for not only why I watch what I do, but also why some shows aren't mentioned.

I've really been enjoying "Heroes"(Monday 8 NBC) this year (even if I have been delaying my viewing slightly to accommodate someone else's schedule) but I guess it has been slow and many have complained. Heroes creator Tim Kring has apologized to the fans for the pacing and storylines of Season 2 (for the record I really like Hiro in Japan and I am willing to give new characters a lot of leeway knowing that once they are incorporated into the main story, the character development will be worth the delay). But the scariest thing is the mention of retooling the Dec 3rd episode in case it is the season finale due to the writers strike (I am in huge denial of the whole strike, I don't want my TV to go away)

If you are looking for a present for my nephew (or I guess any other run of the mill kid), check out Progressive Kid for some unique, planet-friendly products that support the development of progressive kids.

Do you dream of seeing the moon in HD? Well thanks to the Aaron (the world's most famous librarian) here is a story about just such a thing. There is a story of who filmed it and how they did it, along with pictures and a link to the video. I really hope this comes to Discovery HD or some other channel where I can truly appreciate it on my TV.
