Ohhh yeah

Joss has a new show. More information at /.

That is right ladies and gents, Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy, Angel and Firefly, has a NEW SHOW!!!! There is a seven episode commitment, but… it is on Fox, so WHO KNOWS what will actually happen…

From the article, Eliza and Kristen:

Everyone is super-super-excited I guarantee you—I squealed.
The Red Sox won the World Series again, and things are good—I have my boy [Brad Penny], and he’s going to be playing baseball for the Dodgers next year, and I’ll be here shooting my show for Fox. It’s all gonna be good.

The television network, the CW, cancelled Veronica Mars.

Ugh, the bastards.

Honestly, I am sorry for the harsh langauge, but seriously. You cannot go wrong with VMars. It is just GREAT.

Or it was. Until they Cancelled it.

From The Washington Post article

The CW network canceled the cult hit “Veronica Mars” and will try to pick up steam in its second year with series about the snobby rich, transplanted families and a bounty hunter for the devil.

The network, created out of the ashes of the former WB and UPN, had already ended the long-running family dramas “7th Heaven” and “Gilmore Girls.” On Thursday the ax fell on “Veronica Mars,” which starred Kristen Bell as a wisecracking teenage private eye.

And yes, I know this is not related at all to books, but it is upsetting to me, and Dear Readers, I know you care. And if there is any pickup news (there are rumors that the CW has another month to completely give up on Veronica, I’ll post it for you!)

Yesterday, we were The Venice Project™. Today, we’re Joost™. Tomorrow, we’re yours! Imagine having infinite choice, and TV that is truly interactive. TV anywhere, anytime…

This is the year. Joost™ is coming.

My friend’s husband in Germany is part of this project, so he invited me to be in the beta-test. I finally got speakers (and as it is a video/audio program, they DO help), and I think this is VERY cool. It is not that exciting if you do not have high-speed internet. Also, it says that my computer does not have the full RAM, but it seems to run fine, so you can get away with a slim-RAM amount. Okay well I lie a little bit there. Everything is easier when you do not have to wait for loading times.

In this image you can see some of the interactive features. There are the channel options on the left, the bottom has the image information, plus can connect you to the channel options (in a really neat way). If you like music videos, this is especially awesome, because they offer alot of them. (Right now I am listening to Panic! At the Disco’s “Lying is the most fun a girl can have”). If you use a bit torrent to illegally download all of your tv shows and then have a really big television, then Joost is not really for you. But if don’t do all that, and you want to try out a new really cool idea, then head over to Joost.com and check it out!

I have not found out near enough of this project, so I will be playing with it myself. I do hope you will give it a try and then tell me (or the people of Joost) what you think!!!
