Sometimes I like to throw a little nerd shit in with my constant bitching about stupid bullshit. And since I tend to be a nerdy fuck when it comes to computers and the like, I thought I would comment on some recent technology-related happenings.

First off, for you folks who have PS3s and was pissed because the Xbox 360 was getting all the Netflix streaming action, worry no more (by the way, I have an Xbox 360, so this affects me not)! I know I’m a little late on the draw because I actually read this on CNET like last week, but yes, PS3 owners will soon have access to the entire Netflix streaming catalog. It will be rough at first though. Whereas the Xbox has the Netflix streaming feature built into its firmware, PS3 will require you to insert a disc every time in order to stream movies and TV shows. It also uses the same Blu-ray function that the movies use to pull extras from the Internet. So for now, it might be a little choppy. The bright side is, you will only have to deal with that until around Fall/Winter of next year as they plan on updating the PS3’s firmware to accommodate (hey, there’s some talk that they might even make Netflix work for the Wii!).

The second thing I wanted to mention is Geocities. On October 26th (and again, I know I’m a little late on the draw here) Yahoo closed Geocities, the popular free website host, after 15 years in operation. I never had a Geocities account, but I still see the importance as it was a little part of Internet history before the dot com boom and “Web 2.0″. It was around basically before industry was big on the Internet.

And speaking of web hosting, I just moved my sites over to a new host and the service has been kick-ass! I got all my nerd shit running at full song over at that piece. The host’s name is imaginHost (www.imaginhost.com), and there is a promotion going on right now where you get your first month for like 10 cents or less with the coupon code on the imaginHost site. Make sure to check that shit out. Until next time kids!
