Awkward Family Photos

We’ve all had them. Those family photos that we wish we could go back in time and retake or just not show up for at all. I’ve got a family Christmas photo that catches me in an award-winning stupid grin, and also highlights my waistline as you can almost hear the button on my shirt screaming to release and pop-off.

The Awkward Family Photos website captures these photos we wish were never taken and shares them with the universe. Something scary and hilarious about it at the same time.

As you can see from the screen shot above from the site, I can’t even show you all of the current photo. It’s too much. Really? Really? You decided to get your picture taken like that? You’re going to have to visit the Awkward Family Photos website to see for yourself.

One question I have, how do they get these photos? They say they’re submitted by people, but I’ve got to think even your friends wouldn’t do this to you! Only one more reason to make sure those embarrassing photos never make it out for public viewing.

Hat tip to my friend Cherie Lowe, a.k.a. The Queen of Free for uncovering this website for us.

Watch A Movie On the Largest Screens Ever

One of my favorite things is to watch a great, blockbuster movie at my local theater which has an IMAX screen. There was a time in our history where even an IMAX screen would be dwarfed by comparison of the screens you could go see a movie on.

Remember the drive-in-movie? They still exist it's just hard to find one that's still in operation. The Drive-Ins.com website helps you find your local drive-in and get more information. These may not be around much longer, go take advantage of a bit of history being available now. If you want to setup your own drive-in or home theater, you may need to hire a professional audio visual technician who can provide professional A/V Company services. You may want to read this for more info about audio visual solutions.

Welcome to Drive-ins.com, a comprehensive and continuously updated web site dedicated to drive-in movie theaters and their history. The site features an online searchable database of almost 5000 drive-ins.

The kind of information we collect and share includes historical facts and data, living history or anecdotes, news and media items, images (drawings, photos, video, even sound clips), as well as website visitor comments, forums, ratings and reviews, and drive-in theater related products.

A friend just talked to me today about them enjoying a drive-in movie this weekend. They saw Night at the Museum 2 and Wolverine. Two for one! Sounds like a great deal to me.

Hulu Releases Desktop App

More and more people are turning to the Internet everyday for their daily entertainment from the small screen. With the variety of online video content that’s available through YouTube and other video sites, as well as the websites for the major TV networks, you can probably find something you’ve never seen available for the rest of your life.

Hulu has been covered at a variety of angles by b5media‘s authors and on EveryJoe. I first wrote about it back in December of last year when it was in private beta release.

Hulu is now public and they’ve had some mainstream commercials about their service being aired since the SuperBowl. They’ve also recently released a stand-alone desktop application for you to get all the great content from Hulu onto your computer screen without the need for your browser to be open and screen real-estate to be lost to browser controls.

The video quality is outstanding on my laptop. I could easily watch probably hours of TV shows like this. Most of the shows have commercial interruptions but that’s fine with me. I understand that’s the price you pay for free TV.

There’s so much content available on Hulu from recent shows to old stuff like one of my favorite shows as a kid A-Team. The search function could be a little bit better about finding the actual show you’re looking for, but I understand when they try to find close matches.
