Sat, 12 Nov 2011 20:59:00 -0800 CanIStream.it: Search Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, Amazon, and iTunes for streaming movies http://fotofah.posterous.com/canistreamit-search-netflix-hulu-vudu-amazon http://fotofah.posterous.com/canistreamit-search-netflix-hulu-vudu-amazon

Can I Stream It?

Let's say you are a regular techie with a Netflix account, a Hulu account, and since you only shop online, you also have an Amazon Prime account. Now let's say you want to know if a movie you're dying to watch is available to be streamed instantly, using any of these accounts.

With CanIStream.It, you can search across all of these services and pick the one you want to use. And if the movie you're looking for is not available, just sign-up, set a reminder and voila we will shoot you an email when your chosen service makes the movie available. It's simple and fast.

CanIStream.it also searches iTunes, Vudu, and Amazon OnDemand stores; so if a movie isn't available you might still be able to digitally rent or purchase it.

Just type in the movie title you want to search for and then select "Streaming", "Rental", "Purchase", or "DVD/Blu-ray" from the menu to check for availability. If the movie is available, simply click on the icon and it will take you to the movie page, for the service you selected. If not, then sign-in and set a reminder and we'll let you know when it becomes available.

CanIStream.It is a free service created by the UrbanPixels crew for the community. We were missing a service like this, so we built it and now hope that other people find it useful too.

Contact us at info@urbanpixels.com if you have any questions or just want to tell us what you think about CanIStream.It.

Sat, 30 Jul 2011 00:55:00 -0700 Just watched "The Adjustment Bureau" on DVD. Recommended. I'd give it 4/5. :-) http://fotofah.posterous.com/just-watched-the-adjustment-bureau-on-dvd-rec http://fotofah.posterous.com/just-watched-the-adjustment-bureau-on-dvd-rec

I just bummed that the Netflix DVD had only a teaser for the extras. (You have to buy the disk to see them. :-(

It would be very interesting to have a theological discussion in a group after watching this.

Tue, 12 Jul 2011 00:36:00 -0700 Watching pilot of "Kidnapped" TV series on NF Instant; even 2/3 of the way through, I'd give it a 4.5/5, if not 5/5 http://fotofah.posterous.com/watching-pilot-of-kidnapped-tv-series-on-nf-i http://fotofah.posterous.com/watching-pilot-of-kidnapped-tv-series-on-nf-i

It's very, very well done.

As of 7/12/11, I’ve watched 6 episodes total (each about 41 min. long, since there are no commercials. :-) It’s quite an amazing production: acting, pace, plot twists, characterization, adrenalin-rush perhaps more than “24” (which for me, is saying a lot).

Hmm. By my count, in our apartment (my wife and I) we have 5. And we
don't even have one TV (never have). Two are iPod touches, which
harkens back to a joke from a gift book to me from years ago, "A
Treasure of Offbeat Humor": A note tacked on a public bulletin board:
"For sale: 2" TV. Call xxx-xxxx and ask for Squinty." ;-)
