Fun on a Friday -- You Dummy! (Sneak Preview Super Bowl ad)

My husband laughed so hard at this spot we had to rewind several times to catch some of the lines. He was particularly fond of "You Dummy!" shouted at the hapless cubicle dweller.

I'm one of those people who watch the Super Bowl for the ads (although now I just look them all up online the next day). CareerBuilder's taken it a step further -- and increased their buzz -- by releasing their ad ahead of time. Lots of web chatter, lots of YouTube views. Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Who Knew? Hulu Launches with Loads of Your Favorite T.V. Shows for Free

So here's the story: YouTube exploded and made all the t.v. and movie execs nervous. All their content was being distributed for free and worse, they weren't getting their cut. So NBC and FOX decided to fight back with their own streaming video site called Hulu with super-premium content -- all free (sort of; you have to watch some ads) -- and like everything online, it's on-demand. (Take that, Comcast!)

So now my husband and I can go back and watch those first few episodes of "Chuck" that we missed (and that I have not been able to find on YouTube). Fans of "The Office" can stream to their heart's content.

But Hulu isn't content to stream only t.v. shows. You'll also find movies from Sony and MGM, sports highlights, classic games and more. And if you like what you see, you can embed the clips on your own site (just like YouTube) and share with your friends.

Another Kind of March Madness

Forget March Madness. For "Lost" t.v. fans, there's a new madness (as if the show isn't maddening enough already!). Get your (virtual) pencils out and write in your favorite Lost characters. Watch the bracket evolve and eventually narrow down to your favorite two Losties. Really, what could be more fun on a Friday?
