Sorry today’s post is late, I published it but I think it got lost in my feed.

Today’s post is about using technology in everyday life outside of work. Because yes; there is life outside of work.

A while back there were several times while hanging out with friends that my husband and I were completely lost when they started chatting about different television series.

We felt lost and very “uncool.”

But this is no longer the case. No, we haven’t decided to rearrange our schedules around the schedules of the latest sitcom. The stations themselves have saved our behinds through streaming the shows online.

If you go to ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and TBS they now have most of their shows streaming online. Shows like Lost, Ugly Betty and Prison Break.

The catch is that you have to usually wait until the next day before they are online, but this is okay with us. It is actually pretty fun to be able to watch more than one episode at a time.

And unlike shows on the television, streaming shows online have half the commercials-and the commercials are sometimes shorter than 30 seconds.

Now you may be wondering why the heck we would want to watch shows on our computer, but we don’t. We hook our computer up to our television and while the quality isn’t as clear as our HD channels, we don’t mind sacrificing a little bit of quality for the ability to watch when we want.

Here is a helpful link for Hooking up your PC to your TV.

Here is a helpful link to a forum where they discuss how to Hook your Mac Computer to the television.

I’m not sure if this is available to all countries. For those outside the United States, I would love for you to let us know if you are able to watch LEGAL streaming video…
