The IT Crowd

The IT Crowd is a British sitcom aired on Channel 4. Currently, two series of six episodes each have been produced.

It is probably one of the most hilarious shows ever made!!

This is a very bold statement considering fact that only 12 episodes have been aired till date. The title song is funky in its own way and will get you hooked to it.

An American version was to be made, but apparently things didn't work out. It has confirmed that a third series will be produced

Each episode is hardly 20 minutes long. The main characters of the show are Moss, Roy (the IT 'geeks') and their (non-technical) manager Jen. I do not want to give any more spoilers. Try it, this is 100% ROFL material.

P.S: youtube it for sample episodes.

Video hosting website

Justin.tv, founded in San Francisco by Justin Kan, is a network of diverse channels providing a platform for lifecasting and live video streaming of events online. The original Justin.tv was a single channel that evolved into the Justin.tv network of thousands of diverse channels.

I am a sports enthusiast and I like to watch live sports at all times ;)

Registration is not compulsary, but is required for saving favorite channels, messaging and chatting in the chat boxes.
Here is what one has to do to watch channels on Justin.tv:

1. Click on the Directory tab


2. Under the directory tab there are options such as Live Channels, playlists..etc and also options to sort them.

Once a channel is clicked it opens a
page with an embedded video player
and chat window. When the channel is not broadcasting one can watch archived videos/highlights or even chat with fellow users that are watching that channel currently.

There are moderators and administrators that assist channel
owners in keeping miscreants at bay.

Intelligence is Sexy

Marina Orlova, a blonde-bombshell started a channel HotForWords in 2007, and she has since been voted "World's #1 Sexiest Geek". She is the teacher every male student would dream having ;).

She appears in her two-minute clips scantily clad, pouting and making doe eyes. At the end of the day she delivers what she promises - origins of English words that youngsters would have trouble learning on their own. Her videos cover a whole range of words from common everyday words and rarely used tongue-twisters to idioms. It is obvious that her success is attributed to her sexiness, and why not -- isn't that the motto of today's entertainment business too?

The subscribers can request for word's origins on her website.

eBay

My recent obsession - bidding on eBay!

My latest purchase - a vintage Manchester United jersey (2000-2001 season)...Umbro & Vodafone sponsors (the only year this combination existed)

I came across this site Get It Next while looking up items that were listed on eBay. This site searches for items on eBay and has most of its features. The best part about this site is that it counts down the time till the last second.

Tip/disclaimer: I would recommend you to use eBay for bidding with Get It Next open in another window as a reference. There was a slight offset in the timer in the two websites towards the end of the auction. So beware!
