With Hurricane Season Started Already for 2006, I thought this video would remind people what it is like with a direct hit to your city, town would be like. Be prepaired for anything! Hurricanes are not something you will say "it will not hit our place!" It is not true, it will hit anywhere along the East Coast, and the Gulf Coast. Be ready, and have things packed just in case!

Do you like wines?
May 30, 2006Web site WineLog is a collaborative wine rating, sharing (in the internet sense), and tagging site designed to help you keep a record of wines you've tried and discover new wines.
WineLog seems very similar to wine recommendation site Cork'd, though after looking through both, WineLog appears to be a bit more developed. If you're looking for the perfect wine for your Memorial Day weekend celebration, then 1) you're a bit more sophisticated that me, and 2) you might want to give one of these services a try.

Online TV Network Channels
May 5, 2006
Well, looks like we have a new budding form of a TV Station Channels now,
“Online TV Network Channels”. Maybe the new term should be OTNC steaming!
With viewers trying to download the newest mp3 songs, and using software to download tv shows. The networks are going to beat the hacking of the tv shows to place them on a the web. ABC Network, and CBS Networks now have their own streaming of OTNC.
OTNC is steaming original network program shows over the internet like television network channel programing. Is it like have another channel on your dial on your cable box, or turner. But, using the internet with a high speed internet connection to received the programing, and this is not paid service (as of now). Networks are trying this as a test for now, to gain viewers!
I think it is a great ideal to offer shows already aired to be available to people to download, or view them online at anytime of the day. Keeps viewers, and keeps people happy to view shows over again without filling up TIVO, or other forms of storage. It will allow people all over the word to see what just happen in other countries on the weekly shows, or daily shows.
This all was all in the working stages around 2 years ago, when at the time AOL wanted to offer already aired tv shows on a free services to AOL customers. At that time, the networks did not think it would take off without the networks to received some money for the shows. Now, with OTNC they can air the shows themselves, and also include the original tv spots in the programs. Another way to gain extra revenue for the networks, and the tv spots get more coverage over time for the tv spots they paid for. I am sure that the networks will do something about adding a fees to the services later in time.
With the HDTV channels coming soon to local area tv channels, I guess they need to have another way to show off the shows, for people who can not get HDTVs, due to lack of money, or locations to the local cable, or towers. The networks maybe testing the waters over adding additional HD channels out in a lower cost transmition, by testing out how, who, and what is going on with “already aired tv programs”to maybe add to local networks.
HDTV has the advantage to add additional channels to the same channel to be broadcast without getting another FCC license to broadcast another channel. So, you are watching your local FOX network channel, right now in regular tv you are watching it as the channel say “36”, in HD format you will be able to see channels 36.1, 36.2, 36.3. So, say the same channel now can have FOX NEWS on channel 36.3, also have local news on channel 36.1, and broadcast a live concert on channel 36.2 all at the same time, so you can change the channel, and still received your local FOX channel but with additional programing to fit the viewers of the channels.
Try out these new OTNC steaming channels online now:
