the tv on my internets
Now that I'm over my TV addiction - I find that I still want to be informed about _some_ of the goings-on in the world without resorting to watching the nightly news. (this is for various reasons - I feel nightly news is too focused on press releases and getting eyeballs with ShOcKiNg StOriEs!)
Anyways - Keeping up with interesting stories involves watching 'Frontline', and you can do this online - no TV needed.
Check out: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/view/
You can watch the latest programs from there.
Do yourself a favor, watch frontline, listen to NPR, and read Boing Boing. :)
You'll probably need more to read than that... I'll admit I love the service Safari by O'Reilly and to keep up with the Google Videos that teach you useful stuff.
So, have I really given up TV?
Only the TV that Nielson thinks is TV. I'm a fan of the podcast as well.
