Welcome to The Future

You don't have a flying car yet. Furniture has to be delivered, instead of instantly materializing from a personal constructoPod. And dogs still can't talk.

But I got my invite to Hulu today, and it's pretty cool. Because of things like this:



And there are hundreds of other episodes of other shows that are actually worth seeing. They're at high resolution, and it doesn't take a year to load. You can even cut a show down into a short clip to post on your site to highlight a particularly awesome moment (I would have done that here, but this entire episode warrants watching). And no, they aren't paying me to write this. I'm just that excited.

Yes, there are commercials, but this 22-minute show has 45 seconds of ads. I can deal with that, especially if the product is free. They might just be on to something here.

Now if you'll excuse me, it's time to catch up on some Alfred Hitchcock Presents from the 1950s. I may never go outside again.
