If you are a fan of Joss Whedon’s work (Buffy, Angel, Firefly, etc), and I’m presuming there might be a few in the audience, then make sure you check out Dr Horrible’s sing-a-long blog this weekend. The third episode is up now and the series is only going to be available for free until the end of Sunday. After this it will disapear from online and only be available on DVD.
Apart from being an entertaining production it is also an interesting experiment in new media production. The idea came to life because of the recent writers strike with the plan being to discover whether an alternative method of high production quality media distribution can actually make money. While it is not the most expensive production ever put together it has a number of sets and locations and some fairly big television names writing and starring in it.
The plan looks to take advantage of the propesity of their intended audience to like to view programs multiple times. Many people will see it and a large number will presumably want to not only watch it again, but to also see the extra content that will undoubtedely be included with the DVD version. That is if it works. It will be interesting to watch the result.
I would I know a few Co in the NorthWest that are moving away from Dell, for that and a few other reasons.
check out IBM we have had good luck with them so far, as long as you dump there OS and load your own.
