I found a new series to watch once in awhile. Hannah Montana is much more fun than I would have thought. This is the biggest series for kids (and I am still feel like a little kid). Her album came in #1 on the American Music charts. I decided to download all the episodes from Season 1 and 2 and I kinda liked it. I am looking forward to seeing more of this series.

A full summary about this show:

Miley Stewart is a 14 year-old girl who’s trying to fit in like everyone else, she can even be a little weird at times. The only difference about Miley is that she’s also the famous pop star, Hannah
Montana! Her family just moved from Tennessee to Malibu where Miley met her new best friends, Lilly Truscott and Oliver Oken. Miley’s family is perfect except for the fact that her mom died when she was 11, but even with that, they’re learning to get by on their own. Miley’s brother, Jackson, can be a little annoying at times, or even just plain insane. He’s always looking for a way to make money. Her dad, Robbie, is a great father that anyone would like to have, and he’s one of the few people to actually know Miley’s secret. The only other people that know are Jackson, Lilly, and Oliver. They all try to help when Miley gets into scrapes or has close calls of her double identity being discovered. Now all she has to do is hope that her friends and family will keep her secret a secret.

Want to see the show, that show that so many of us including me went nuts over then tune into to CBS tonight at 9pm and every Friday night from now until the new fall season starts to see! Jericho was my favorite new show of the season, and that includes Heroes and Ugly Betty! So please please, PLEASE tune into Jericho tonight, so that CBS and other networks will realize to put fans first before cancelling a show. Just think about it if you don’t watch Jericho, future campaigns to save shows won’t work.
So go NUTS tonight and watch Jericho!!!

Last night was the season finale of One Tree Hill and it feels like the tv-season is really over now. I don’t know why, but after the finales of Lost, Greys Anatomy and others, it just didn’t feel over, but after watching this episode it really felt over. It was really weird.

I tought the episode was pretty good, maybe the best of the season. There was humor, romance, sadness, cheesy goodbye-lines, standard ‘Mouth is a loser but he is the hero’-scenes and finally there was justice for Dan. But in the end they wrapped up the high-school years in a nice way and now they are ready to skip forwards for four years. It really feels like this part of their lives is over.

Just got this little snippet from http://thefutoncritic.com/

“JERICHO” RETURNS TO CBS ON JULY 6 Rebroadcasts From the First Season to Air Fridays at 9:00 PM, ET/PT For the Remainder of the Summer.

JERICHO, CBS’s drama about how residents of a small, peaceful, Kansas town band together to survive in the wake of a nuclear explosion, will return to the Network beginning Friday, July 6 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT). Rebroadcasts of episodes from the first season will air in the Friday, 9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT time period for the remainder of the summer.

JERICHO, which last week received a seven episode mid-season order following an impassioned display of fan support, will return on July 6 with a rebroadcast of the pilot episode.

On July 13, CBS will present back-to-back broadcasts beginning with “Return to Jericho” (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), which recapped the first 11 episodes, followed by episode 12, “The Day Before” (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), which launched “Jericho’s” spring return.

The remaining summer broadcasts will consist of episodes 13-22, in which tensions continue to escalate between Jericho and the neighboring town of New Bern as they battle the Kansas winter, dwindling resources and the uncertainty of a new world. The citizens of Jericho must now find a way to unite against these hardships, working together to preserve their community and their way of life as they prepare for an all out battle for survival in the season finale.

Jon Turteltaub, Stephen Chobsky and Carol Barbee are executive producers of JERICHO for CBS Paramount Network Television.

I just found Box.net, a new cool service to use. Its a simple Online Filemanager that allows you to store, share and access 1 Gigabyte of data on their server for Free !!

It works great, just register an account with your e-mail adress and start uploading those files you want to be safe. No need to make backups anymore, just upload everything you want to keep safe on Box.net and you can always get it back when you need to. I uploaded 600 Megabyte of pictures (zipped and rarred them before i uploaded them) and it went pretty quickly. I was done within the hour and now i don’t have to worry about losing those anymore.

It allows you to make files you want to share with others to become public or you can just leave them private, so only you can see them. I love it.

And it gets even better, there is a plugin for Office 2003 and 2007 that allows you to store your documents on Box.net right from Word, Excel and Powerpoint. So you can work on the same document on different locations and you just store it back to Box.net when you’re done.  

For more information and to signup ASAP, go to http://www.box.net/ and find friends to do the same and you can exchange files between friends with Box.net Network.
