It's been a while since my last post, and it's been mostly due to the fact that I haven't found anything to be all that terribly interesting to share that you couldn't just read by going to gizmodo yourself. I've also been spending my spare time at work getting up to date on the OOTS (Order of the Stick) webcomic, so I now have to wait for the thrice weekly updates like all the other fans.
Some of the weekend was taken up by a bit of work from home, and by watching a handful of stargate SG1 episodes from season six in order to catch up to the current season 8 episodes that are showing on Yahoo BB TV. Yahoo BB TV has been great, and I don't know why it's not available all over the world yet. It involves getting a TV set top box that plugs directly into the ADSL modem, and whammo, 40 channels of sometimes quality viewing. And when compared to the utter crappiness that is Japanese free to air TV, that's 2000 yen a month very well spent. Just to have BBC news available was worth it for us, but we also get a number of the better channels that I am aware of from other pay TV providers. Anyway enough raving, if you're in Japan and in need of some relatively cheap TV, and you have to have a broadband internet connection anyway, then get yourself hooked up, you won't regret it.
