Netflix has had “play now” capability for a while now. For anyone using Windows, that is. But they just announced a new beta program for Mac users. What stinks is that Macs with a PowerPC chip (G4 or G5 Macs) will be left in the dark. It’s only for Intel-powered Macs. It’s not Netflix’s fault. It’s Microsoft’s fault. Netflix uses Microsoft’s Silverlight software to do DRM (something else I dislike). I guess it’s also Apple’s fault for building computers that last a long time and don’t need to be replaced in order to work with their latest operating system.

Time for another blog entry. What to write about today? I think it’s time to pause and reflect on things. Like a freeze-frame mirror. I think of where I am, where I’ve been, and where I’m going. Is there someone special in my life about whom I’d like to shout from the rooftops? Why haven’t I been posting my more usual morose and lonely thoughts to my blog lately? Why haven’t I been writing much of anything on my blog lately? What does purple taste like? Why so many questions?
