There are currently three film contests that I think some of you might want to check out [this isn't an endorsement, just posting notice.] With so many competitions out there why am I pulling these from the pile? The money. The prizes are a pretty impressive combination of cash and services. Take a look at all three and decide for yourself but don’t wait too long. Deadlines are approaching.

That’s right. This time it’s for real. If you have an active Netflix account you can download films and watch on your computer. Finally!

I finally got around to setting up my new Roku. It’s a downloadable delivery device for Netflix members and I have to say, it’s pretty f’in nice. So simple to set-up it’s stupid. If you have an existing qualifying Netflix account you can download content for no additional cost. There is a limit to what is available now [10,000 titles and not the greatest seletion] but for $99 this is a simple and effective way to kick off the digital download revolution. In a year they will probably launch a slicker, more feature heavy version to stay competitive but for now I would say this is the shit. Supposedly Roku recently sold out all their units [?] and are now on backorder. Either way, a very cool little addition to your set-up.
Update: Thank you XBOX [sigh.]
