Work at Home and Earn an Excellent Income

Imagine being able to work from your own home, doing a job you love, and
getting paid handsomely for doing it. Wouldn’t that be great?

Well, the good news is that this is not just a fantasy. It is a prospect that is

freelancing offers the perfect combination of freedom, creativity, flexibility

I don’t mean the fact that every question you post on Yahoo!Answers is answered by some snotty 12-year-old. I don’t mean that every time you try to do research you have your choice of either an impenetrable thesis or incorrect wiki.

I Mean the fact that even though you try to stay abreast of news and features, even though you subscribe to dozens of feeds, constantly google, search Technorati and have alerts automatically sent to your cell phone, you still come across a nifty, cool, useful and entertaining site after millions of other people already know about it. On the Internets, you’re always a Noob somewhere.

Take Hulu.com

Hulu is a free TV and movie Streaming site. Yes Free. As in , Get-your-fix-of-the-A-Team-right-now. As in no money down. Not $1.99. Not $.99. Free.

There’s a catch- The number of shows is inversely proportional to the age and DVD availability. A show airing today might only have the last couple episodes. A classic on DVD might have the entire first season. A show which is no longer selling might have nearly it’s entire run.

And, Of course they’re ad supported.

But this closes the deal: Embeddable content. That’s right. Embed your favorite show in your blog.

So, For Your viewing pleasure, here’s a classic Writer’s movie for Memorial Day Weekend:

Site of the Week: Hulu ©, .

• WUBI Rocks!- The Wubi installer is pretty awesome. In fact, if there’s one thing to make Heron a Windows killer, this is it. We installed Heron as a file on the Windows drive, and it works perfectly. No partitioning, no destruction, just pure Linux goodness cohabiting peacefully with Windows. Switch back and forth pretty much on the fly. Eventually, I’m sure she’ll find herself using Windows less often each day, until…She’s a Linux Geek like Me!! Bwahahaha.
• Ubuntu Graphic Designers Rock!- Nice tweaks and overall boost. Very Cool.
• Firefox Beta Crashes- Not yet ready, better get the release done fast.
• Why DVD? -Just about everything I’ve tried to install with Synaptic is a third party package from the repository, not the DVD.

Anyway, More updates coming. Have fun.
