Hulu! Movies, TV shows, and more on demand!

Do you know what Hulu is? You may have seen the commercials on TV for hulu, commercials like this one:

Well some of the stuff on HULU is actaully educational!

There is a NOVA Channel, it allows you to watch things from NOVA. There also is Modern Marvel Channel and Biography Channel. There is a kid's channel that includes things like Sesame Street and Jonah a VeggieTales Movie. There are also things that would NOT be good for your kids in my opinion, so please proceed with caution! 

One of things the kids and I watched most recently from HULU was the following from the biography channel on HULU: Davey Crockett:

It's all FREE and it's all on demand, so you can watch it whenever you want! We have newer laptop and TV. Well the TV was bought in 2003 so it's not that new. With our TV and newer laptop we, with the correct cables, are able to connect the laptop to the TV.  This connection allows whatever is on the laptop screen to be viewed on the TV screen! Which makes watching these things as a family more enjoyable. I'm not sure what kind of cables they are, DH would know. I just know if i connect them to the laptop it works! LOL

I know not everyone would have that ability, but nonetheless I still wanted to share my knowledge about HULU with you! Enjoy!

It's public television!

It's public television, or at least that's what my DD was calling it. It was a real hoot last night!

Yesterday we spent some times at my my grandparents house and they gave an OLD portable 5 inch black and white TV with AM/FM radio. We were not able to get the TV to pick up our local channels due to the DTV switch. (We had a feeling that it would be that way seeing all of our local channels have already switched)

DH had a bright idea to hook up the PS2 to the TV seeing it had audio/video port. We did it really as a joke but the kids ATE IT UP! They had a blast sitting in front of this little TV and playing their PS2. My DD (7) kept calling this TV the PUBLIC Television! Once the PS2 was hooked up to it she was no longer playing PS2, but PUBLIC games!

She kept saying over and over again "I'm playing PUBLIC games on the PUBLIC Television". Oh, my gosh DH and I had a HUGE belly laugh over this one, seeing we know what public television really is!!

For whatever reason she had it in her head that this was "public" television. Perhaps, because it's portable?? I don't know really but it was a great laugh.

Pictures of this moment can be seen on my website.
