I need to see if I can get the Instant Watch on my iPod to work over the hospital network. That would be awesome.
I've been using Netflix streaming at work to watch stuff on the treadmill It's great for some things, like Luthor or Archer, but for some reason doesn't work for others, like Arrested development or Sportsnight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
