Floppy music and a cure for jet lag

Remember the good ol’ days of the floppy disk?
Well the floppy is now trying to break into the music business.

Also, an interesting research showed that if you fast for 16 hours prior to the time you (would want to) wake up, and then eat a big meal, your internal clock will sync with your “food clock” (yeah that’s right, there are 2 clocks inside you). It takes a wait of 16 hours before an eat to reset the internal clock and allow it to resync with the food clock. You will then, the next time, wake up at around the same time you would eat that big wake-up meal.
What’s the point of this you might ask. This is interesting news if you want to limit the effects of jet lag and/or need/want to wake-up early.
It might work, it might not. I’ll try this out when I go off to NYC.

Is the future…

… of animation here?
Possibly.

But in other “future of entertainment” news, there’s a new kid on the block.
After Hulu, meet TheWB.com.

What’s that?
Oh no, the network is indeed six feet under (for 2 years now), but the brand is coming back…on the web.
On August 27, the site will launch (unfortunately only for US-based peeps, thank you geo-blocking). It is currently in Beta (as you can see by the flash vid above).

What is interesting to note is that, other than showing “known shows” like Buffy, Angel, Friends, The O.C., Smallville, Gilmore Girls, and Roswell, there will be a whole lot of original content. That’s right, shows specially developed for the web, and for the website, also aimed at the “youth demographic”. And we’re not talking about products made by nobodies, unless Josh Schwartz (among others) is unknown to you. But if that’s the case, what are you doing here reading about “youth demographic”.
It probably won’t be as good as The Doc, but it clearly shows that the future of TV is, at the very least, strongly linked to the Internet.

Welcome to the world of tomorrow.
