Anyone who has been to my apartment (and who hasn’t really) knows that there is one thing that we lack. One thing known as Cable TV. Now if I said that five years ago, you would think I was stuck hopelessly in the past. You would probably ask me “Hey Nathan, how’s that butter churning going?” or “Why are you stuck hopelessly in the past?”
But these days, what with the awesome raw power of the internet, my roommates and I can be seen for the trail blazers that we are. Lately we have been harnessing the beast that is the internet to fill the void in our lives that TV left (admittedly it is a pretty small void…more like a voidlet). So how do you do that? Well, you could be a sucker and buy one of those wacky Apple TV things and buy all your TV shows from Apple. We tried this for a bit… of course what ended up happening was we spent more on buying the Colbert Report and Daily Show than we would have had we just kept the cable in the first place.
You can go around to different sites like Youtube.com and Google Video, but your results are mixed at best. For every gem, you will have to sit through several duds. However, stumbleupon.com fixes that for you. You can watch video after video that have all been deemed “cool” by fellow stumbleupon users. But you can also specify exactly what type of video you want to watch. What ends up happening is you get a constant stream of really interesting videos that match your tastes. It also works for websites to… and can be pretty addicting. You stumble around the web finding cool sites that you would never have found on your own.
You can find click below to see some of the sites that I have given the thumbs up to in stumbleupon, or click the video banner above to see the videos.
