GasBuddy is a “crowdsourced” site where the general public contributes daily the price of a gallon of gas. When you go to a station and fill up, you tell GasBuddy which station and how much you paid. That information is communicated back to the Gasbuddy who tells everyone else. This will help you find the cheapest gas in your area. Check it out!
Those who know me know that I’m a huge Phish fan. I didn’t spend Marni’s birthday the first year we dated because of an end-of-summer Phish show (Marni did say it was okay).
Needless to say that I was a little upset that I couldn’t attend their comeback shows in Hampton, VA in a few days. With a 2 1/2 year old, a pregnant wife (who’s recently been sick), a hectic job, and a few thousand miles of distance, it just wasn’t feasible for me to get out there. Yes, I’ve become an adult.
Well, I just learned that Phish will be offering downloads of their shows 24 hours after the show. And, get this, they’re TOTALLY FREE!
From LivePhish.com: “Says Trey Anastasio, “We really wanted to show our gratitude to all the Phish fans for their support and the overwhelming response they’ve had to these shows. It’s going to be an amazing celebration and we only wish everybody could be there,” Phish will be recording the Hampton shows in a mobile multitrack studio, and mixing the shows overnight for immediate delivery on LivePhish.com. 256kbps MP3s will be available for free download for a limited time. FLACs and CDs are also available.”
I’m wanted to let people know some new functionality on AmericaFree.tv (AFTV). It’s a project of mine CP+B.
What is AFTV? AFTV is a joint venture of CP+B (where I work) whose purpose is to redefine television. Streaming 14 channels 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, AFTV is television for the people, by the people. It strives to work with and promote independent directors from around the world by providing a unique mix of new and old content.
Last night we launched many updates to AFTV including the following highlights:
Boulder International Film Festival Channel – We created a special channel in honor of the film festival that starts today, In includes films from past BIFFs.
Chip In – We’ve enabled our independent directors to make a few bucks off of their work through this PayPal integration.
Live Chat – Each channel has now a chat room where you can strike a conversation with other viewers in real time! The chat thread is overlaid right on top of the film itself. The effect is very Mystery Science Theater 3000/Rocky Horror Picture Show like. It is completely uncensored to give our participants the most precious of American freedoms: free speech. This one is really sweet. Definitely try it out!
