Last week someone who reads my blog offered me a Joost account (thanks John). Basically Joost is TV over the Internet. You pick the channel. The show starts when you click “play” and you can pause the show at any time. You can watch real shows from Comedy Central, National Geographic and a dozen less known channels. I heard about it on a TWIT podcast where the biggest news was that no one could get an account. The beta was limited to a few people who were able to give accounts to a few people… so you had to know someone with an account who was willing to share with you.

Today the big news is that current users will be able to give out an unlimited number of accounts in the next few days. If you’re interested in an account, let me know.

The next time you are trying to find something on a long web page, use this shortcut. Press Ctrl-F. This will bring up a search dialog box. Type in the word or phrase you are looking for on the page.

Your browser will do the rest. This shortcut works in your browser, word processor and most other programs that handle text in some way. If you are lucky, the F3 key will do the same thing, but many programs have lost F3 functionality.
