ENOUGH JOOST LOVE TO GO AROUND!

My jaw dropped when I saw an eMail from Joost in my inbox. It felt like an eternity since I submitted my request to be a beta tester. Joost is like web 20.0.
Hello Joseph,
The waiting's over! Since we received your application to join the Joost beta test program, we've been very busy fine-tuning it for you.

So here's some good news: we're now ready to expand our beta test program, and we're delighted to invite you to join us.

You can download the Joost software right away, by clicking on the link below. You'll find instructions for installing and running the software on our download pages...

From the Joost Site

Joost is a new way of watching TV on the internet. With Joost, you get all the things you love about TV, including a high-quality full-screen picture, hundreds of full-length shows and easy channel-flipping.
You get great internet features too, such as search, chat and instant messaging, built right into the program - so you find shows quickly and talk to your friends while you watch. And with no schedules to worry about, you can watch whatever you want, whenever you like - as often as you want. Joost is completely free, and works with most modern PCs and Intel Mac-based computers with a broadband connection. Get Joost today!

My first impression is "whoa"... The interface is brilliant, easy to use with no instruction needed. There are a LOT of channels that as far as I know you cannot get on regular TV, or at least around here in St. Louis. One channel in particular called LazyTV has a funny show called "The People's Champion". Another channel, BITE, has a show called "The Conventioneers" which is absolutely freaking hilarious. I watched every episode straight through. And the FIGHT NETWORK is a nice little fix for my MMA needs. They have fights from MECA and TKO so I'll be diving into those very soon. Oh, another cool feature, you can actually chat with other people watching the same channel, it's called "Channel Chat". You can also rate shows. I'm really just blown away I can't even get all of the cool stuff out on this entry. I STOKED!!!! If I get invites I'll let ya know!

  • The Mac and PC? In One?

    I've been so much in awe with my new iMac(s) that I haven't had time to write about it. I'm now running Windows XP on my Mac (yes, I still have a few PC apps that I can't develop without).

  • Content-Aware Image Sizing

    Check out this sweet demo app that resizes images either by stretching or shrinking the less conspicuous parts of an image while keeping the key elements in tact. It's a really cool idea and I would only hope to see this functionality in a future version of Photoshop. Watch the video because I did a horrible job of explaining it.

  • SASUKE - Ninja Warrior

    Ninja warrior is a Japanese sports entertainment television special that airs on the Tokyo Broadcasting System and is now available on G4 TechTV. It's been 10 years since the first episode. Why I only discovered it last week is a mystery to me. I love it I love it.

    Rebuilding a machine or reloading the operating system is a major pain. I thought I'd detail a few things I did in my latest rebuild. There's a few helpful tips along with a few helpful programs. Check it out.

  • No Joost Invites Yet

    Since my first Joost post I've had a few asking about invites. So I wanted to post this image to prove that I don't have any at the moment. :-)

I was checking out this website after I saw your mention of it. This sounds incredible with an invite from another user for the beta test I can get it. I am sure for a fellow High school Alum it wouldn't be no thing to hook up an invite eh? I like this site, it is very unique. Different from the crappy myspace shite that is as boring now as it was a year ago. Anyway that is my email there so I would like to hear what you've been up to. That is if you got a sec. At any rate get back to me.
