Better Bad New

Better Bad News is a video podcast that is produced every couple of weeks. It seems that this show is produced out of UC Berkeley, and is a very unique, “inside joke” kind of show. The more you are tuned into various internet stories, the more you will like this show. Whether it is controversy within the YouTube users or the conspiracy of 9-11, there is always a strong point of view that the producers manage to get across. One of the more clever episodes on 9-11 can be found here.

I have been watching BBN for over a year now, and they have kept the same characters. I am not sure who these people are, but they do a pretty good job. There are four main “characters” that all have their different opinions. The show’s main character is a “News Anchor” who is very believable and does a great job reading his lines. It also has a “panel of experts” that always has something interesting to say. The show is produced with many quick and short cuts. These cuts usually depict the “panel of experts” with different opinions, but when they are all spliced together and edited always makes a very interesting point. Better Bad News does a great job of exposing the hypocrisies that you find in today’s major news stories.

If you are looking for something a bit different, that is well written and will make you think, I suggest you check out Better Bad News. "Half true more or less 100% of the time"

What I watched 10-7-07

Well, it has been a little while since my last post. That is ok I guess since not too many folks have been checking out this blog.

I did watch stuff on my Sansa this last week. I even got a bit of geek envy on the bus I think. I was watching stuff and this business man sat next to me. Pretty soon he busted out his blackberry, and tried to do fun things, but no video. He checked his email and read some webpages, but still no video. Haha!

All the while, I watched..

1)Ask A Ninja, Question 55 "Celebrity Weapons"

2)Bicycle-Sidewalk 303rd Post - The girl, the light, the shoes - Fukuoka Tenjin Japan

3)Boing Boing.TV Boing Boing tv: same old BB, but with talkies.

4)Boing Boing.TV Trailers From Hell/Lobotomy

5)Better Bad News REPORTS OF NEO-CON MILITARY COUP UNLIKELY IN US MEDIA

6)Geek Entertainment TV Halo 3 Launch Eve

7)The GigaOm Show - Silcon Valley's Own Microsoft

We also watched some internet video on the television. We watched some ABC shows. We watched some Ugly Betty and also checked out the new show Pushing Daisies. ABC has the best player hands down. It looks great and streams even better.

We would have been watching more internet TV, but we got sucked into some DVD action via Netflix. We watched The Real Housewives of the Orange County. That show is addictive. Growing up in Orange County 20 years ago, I see things have not changed much. Yes, this stuff really happens.
