Heard of hulu yet? It’s a place you can spend your entire work day watching any of your favorite TV shows. They have lots of movies too. I think we should make some custom screens that can be tied to a hot key, activating fake screens that make employees all over the globe look busy when the boss walks by.
How do I feel about so much entertainment in the workplace? I love it! Especially when I find my own favorite shows are available in all their glory… hulu gives the ability to embed content quickly and easily. Here’s a sample with one of my favorite shows, Arrested Development:
Shortly after the holidays we walked in to the RD2 offices and saw that Santa Ronan had brought us a shiny new 42″ flat-panel HDTV. It’s got a gorgeous picture and has come in very handy for presentations in the office. As long as there’s a nice new TV there, what office couldn’t use a sweet gaming console to go along with it? Oh, right…
But wait! Thanks to a Carnegie Mellon Ph.D. candidate and his innovative solution to create a low-cost interactive whiteboard, there is now a business case for outfitting your office with a Nintendo Wii system. All you need is a “Wiimote”, an infrared LED light-pen (see the video on how to make one yourself) a Bluetooth connection and his software. And if you’re going to have a Wiimote or two laying around the office, you might as well go the full nine, right?
