In one of my late-night internet rambles, I ran across the shockwave game, "Home Sheep Home" and liked it. In fact, I liked it so much that I've made it available for a limited time on the Confederate Canuck blog. To play, scroll down to the bottom of the page, or click here.
Are you a Facebook addict? Do you feel a pressing urge to share intimate details of your life with relative strangers? Do you have a need to notify the planet of your every thought or feeling? Is your sense of self-worth based on the fact that you have over two hundred imaginary friends?
If this is you, there is help. With time, patience, and a little effort, you can overcome this consuming addiction and get back to living your life in the real world.
I enjoyed this recent article in the Winnipeg Free Press by Janine Legal on her efforts to break her Facebook habit. Perhaps her words will be of encouragement to some of you other hopeless Facebook-junkies out there (you know who you are).
I just discovered that Hercule Poirot episodes (among many other things) are available for free on the internet. Simply go to BlinkX, punch in the show you'd like to see, and select from the list of links. Below is one such video.
To view this video, click the red ">" button once. It will cycle and turn green. Click it again, and your video will begin. I haven't seen any overly offensive adds on Megavideo yet, but be careful.
*Hint: Megavideo will only allow you to watch 54 minutes or so of video before it pops up and says you must sign up for an account. The way to get around this is to simply reset your internet connection (or, more specifically, your IP address), and clear your cookies.
For more info on streaming free television online, see my earlier post on the subject.
