Some Giggly Media Bits

So, I linked to a few of these in Twitter over the last week or so, but I thought I'd put some of my recent media giggles here for your viewing pleasure. Please enjoy.

First up, via the LJ of a friend, we have a Fred Rogers-inspired ad for the Sci-Fi Channel's Eureka. If you like science fiction and you aren't watching Eureka, well, I don't get it. It's cute and funny and witty. Eureka is returning to Sci-Fi for its third season on July 29. [I'm trying to embed the link but if doesn't work correctly, the video-ad is on the main Eureka page on the right.]

Next we have Joss Whedon's Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. The first two acts of this musical are up, starring Nathan Fillion and Neil Patrick Harris. Each act is about 13 minutes long and well worth it, but be careful - you may find yourself rewatching and humming. After Act III goes up on the 19th, the whole thing stays up until the 20th... after which it goes away. It's also available to download from iTunes and there's a promised DVD.

Turning to a slightly more technical angle on the geekiness, Binary Tree has filmed a comedy short explaining the value of migrating with their tools. It is pretty funny, even if a bit over the top. And finally, fans of Mary Beth Raven or Symphony might want to see this short from Lotus: stop feeding the machine! I have to say, I was just getting used to using Symphony on my ThinkPad when I got the new MacBookPro... I wish I could be using Symphony there, too. :-(
