(VIDEO) Have Web Will Hulu -- Welcome to Micro Cinema: "The Hawaiians"

So, I wanted to watch a movie last night from the comfort of my home.

Despite cable's ON-DEMAND attempts, seems cable is failing our sense of innovation adventure.

See, last night there was nothing listed on cable, basic cable, my IFC/Sundance combo or even the FlixE movie channel to pique my interest. And alternatively, an evening of YouTube searching would have been less passive than I desired, so I jumped back on Hulu.

It'd been a month or so since I looked at Hulu and Joost.

Hulu offerred a full-viewing of the classic Charlton Heston flick "The Hawaiians". Hulu allows you to put all movies, tv shows, and news clips in a queue and actually remembers where you pause the movie.

Enough about online video... passively enjoy the 1970 "The Hawaiians", a continuation of James A. Michener's epic novel, "Hawaii"...



Don't forget the pop-corn,

Best-Selling VIDEO: Author Malcolm Gladwell: What if Newspapers Had Just Been Invented?

For the past year in blog posts, conversations and forums I've been defending the future of a paper news product yet the localized or niche newspapers must accept a modified business model. Newspapers must innovate with the paper products they offer AND shouldto accept the role of a branded, biased information gathering and distribution. Not a very sexy title. So, BBIGD it is to be known!

Below, one of my favorite authors, Malcom Gladwell, expands the idea gobs more eloquently than I...

Patriot Act Oversteps. Detains American Teen Indefinitely. PLEASE HELP.

THIS IS SERIOUS.

Look, from day one, Libertarians and Liberals alike have been hounding that fact that the Patriot Act impedes on basic American rights and due process. And now a mother's son was mistakenly taken... indefinitely.

The poorly written legislation has mistakenly entangled a home-schooled North Carolina teen in "detention" as a suspected "terrorist" since March 5th with little contact with lawyers or his mother, a widow. There is no public record and there is a gag rule for both the judge and FBI. The mother has NO WAY TO DEFEND her son.

ACT NOW.
This is America folks and the most serious of parental nightmare. If you have *any* upstream influence with legislators, please let them know we need an immediate rewrite of The Patriot Act.

The boy, Ashton Lundeby, continues to be in detention in Indiana and will not have another hearing until late May... if the date is not delayed. I don't know this family. I simply know that this is not what America stands for and certainly not what veterans serve to protect. Call your Senator, rewrite The Patriot Act.

"This isn't America – not the America I knew, the one I grew up in," Annette told Pro Libertate. "This is like something out of a Third World dictatorship where the people in power just do whatever they want to anybody they choose. I want my son back, and I'll do anything I can to free him. But people need to know that if this isn't stopped now, any of us at anytime can be treated the same way. The next time it will be your house they visit in the middle of the night, and your children they take away." ~ Ashton's mother

Next Gen Super Heroes

For several years, a few of Columbus, Georgia's songwriters have been discussing if a local super hero may arise from the population to right the wrongs of the people.

Seems across the U.S. real-life masked super heroes are stepping up, allow me to introduce Cincinnati's Shadow Hare in this local news story...
