This morning I actually didn’t have class at 8:30 like I do from Tuesday to Thursday. I receive Twitter updates from Time and one of them announced the 25th anniversary of The Cosby Show and running with that theme, they compiled a list of the top 10 most memorable television dads. Some of them were likable, and some not. Some were great dads, some were the exact opposite. Notable mentions in my opinion were Cliff Huxtable from The Cosby Show, Homer Simpson, Steven Keaton from Family Ties, and Archie Bunker from All in the Family. (full list and descriptions here http://tiny.cc/5WpU8)
I also found on the home page of CNN.com this morning a story about 3-D technology coming to television broadcasts, particularly in sports. A new set of glasses technology will offer 3-D right in your living room. It is also only slightly more expensive than today’s high definition sets. Do I think it will catch on? Not really. Not only do you still require glasses (regardless of new technology or not) and new broadcasting medium, but 3-D does not appeal to some people because the effect gives them a headache. I think that 3-D technology is just a long-standing gimmick that has been reinvented over the years and won’t amount as a main broadcasting medium anytime soon.

Also, I must say that I really appreciate iTunes library sharing over the network. No matter how much music you have, you often get bored of it and thus it is nice to be able to borrow from someone else so conveniently. I enjoy finding the treasures that other people have in their iTunes.
