Here I sit, unable to sleep, watching Fantasy Island on Hulu with Boxee. Tattoo was just announcing, "De Plane! De Plane!" Tattoo is trying to convince the boss to give him his fantasy.

I haven't watched live television in about 6 months, I guess. I got a 34" 1080p HDTV around Christmas. So I built a Home Theater PC running Ubuntu 8.10 to use with it. I have a large library of movies and tv shows. So it made sense that I would organize them with the computer. As I was looking for software to do that Boxee was becoming popular. Boxee is definitely beta quality but it is headed in a fantastic direction. I wish it was better able to integrate online content with local content. But its so good there's just no point in watching live tv.
