Netflix? Online, anytime.


I have had a subscription to Netflix for quite some time, almost half a year. I just recently started watching movies from them because I do not want to scurry to the local Walmart and blow my Arby's fortune on DVDs I'll watch once a year.

Netflix lets me watch any number of their VAST collection for just $10 a month. This includes free shipping both ways, automatic payment renewal, and no late fees (occasionally I have to reschedule my leisure time). I get my movies through the mail in just 3 days or less, which is surprisingly consistent. Some of the ones I have rented are: Gran Torino, Dirty Harry, and Tropic Thunder. I have also streamed some online: Final Destination, Spy Hard, and Spaceballs. Those are just some of the 130 or so I have viewed.

For streaming, Netflix will adjust the quality based on how fast one is able to receive data, therefore, I recommend at least a mid-speed cable connection to get the best quality. I have T1 speed through my provider and while the quality is not on par with blu-ray, it is excellent for being streamed! If your TV is connected to the internet, you can also stream directly to your tv.

Netflix is something revolutionary as I have not seen any other online rental video business near this quality. I think that everyone should give Netflix a try. Hit up the link for more info.

Trying blogs out

Well, I have started a blog. This will have all the really cool and really wack stuff I find online. I will try to keep it rated so children 16+ can view (traditional 16, not today's 16 where they can view everything but naughty images).

I will prowl the web for some interesting things here in the next few days, and I shall report!
