Where Did That Alberta, Canada Meteor Go?

Here’s a video from a 5–0’s dash that recorded a “trac­tor truck” size meteor:

Brian Williams: “The search is on in Canada for the impact site?”

What the?!?! They bet­ter find that thing. That thing was huge—that’s what she said! For some­thing that bright and in plain sight of the cop patrolling, they should know at least where to start. Dang… that’s scary if they don’t find it. You think it’s a coin­ci­dence with all these Armageddon-like movies com­ing out?

Update
The video from Hulu is no longer avail­able. I have updated the post with the one from Youtube.

SNL: Justin Timberlake for Beyonce’s Single Ladies Music Video

Oh man… this had me going—freaking hilar­i­ous. I think Justin Tim­ber­lake was going to host this upcom­ing Sat­ur­day or some­thing but can’t any­more due to the Hol­i­days. So he popped in and did Week­end Update and a skit with Bey­once. Just in case you missed it this past Saturday’s SNL, here it is1.

Note: Beyonce’s Sin­gle Ladies is the lat­est sin­gle from her new album, “I am… Sasha Fierce”. You can now grab it either on iTunes or Amazon.com.

  1. Please do let me know if this one is not avail­able. NBC does not have it yet in Hulu, and the ones in Youtube are being tar­geted for removal. []

ABC Refuse to Run Repower American Ad

After the pres­i­den­tial debate last night, most high pro­file chan­nels ran ads from oil com­pa­nies (ABC had Chevron, CBS had Exxon, and CNN had the coal lobby). Notic­ing that there’s some­thing a bit off, the We Cam­paign1 is flag­ging ABC to recon­sider their actions for refus­ing to run the Repower Amer­ica ad (below) last week2.

ABC recently refused to run our Repower Amer­ica ad, even though they run ads from oil com­pa­nies that mis­lead the Amer­i­can peo­ple about the role fos­sil fuels play in the cli­mate crisis.

They recently started a peti­tion and sent out a mes­sage ear­lier this afternoon:

Our Repower Amer­ica ad has a clear and sim­ple message—that mas­sive spend­ing by oil and coal com­pa­nies on adver­tis­ing is a key rea­son our nation hasn’t switched to clean and renew­able sources for our energy.

The peti­tion is to “send a mes­sage to ABC and tell them to air the Repower Amer­ica ad this Fri­day on 20/20.” The We Cam­paign is work­ing on get­ting 100,000 pub­lic com­ments to ABC before 20/20’s next air­ing. They are cur­rently (at the time of this post­ing) near 25,000 mark.

You can get more info, sign the peti­tion, view the ad, etc. by going to: wecansolveit.org/ABC

  1. The We Cam­paign is a project of The Alliance for Cli­mate Protection—a non­profit, non­par­ti­san effort founded by Nobel lau­re­ate and for­mer Vice Pres­i­dent Al Gore. The goal of the Alliance is to build a move­ment that cre­ates the polit­i­cal will to solve the cli­mate crisis—in part through repow­er­ing Amer­ica with 100 per­cent of its elec­tric­ity from clean energy sources within 10 years. Our econ­omy, national secu­rity, and cli­mate can’t afford to wait. []

Watch TV Season Premieres on Hulu

Ever since drop­ping Season-3 on tubes every­where this past Mon­day night, NBC sub­lim­i­nally stated to the other net­works, “We’re back bitches!” Mean­while, I rarely watch TV when I get home other than watch MNF, ESPN and FOX Sports to keep up with Sports in gen­eral. Ever since get­ting a Hulu invite a cou­ple months ago, I have been more than impressed with how far it has come from its days of closed beta.

Any­ways, a cou­ple of TV shows that I have been fol­low­ing lately are: Heroes, Chuck, The Office, My Name is Earl, and Kitchen Night­mares to name a few. On that end, I have to give it up to NBC in let­ting Chuck fans have a sneak peek of Season-2’s first episode avail­able on Hulu days before its pre­miere on Prime­time this upcom­ing Mon­day, Sep­tem­ber 29th. You may watch it below. But best to do so soon as its sup­pose to expire in 2-days.

Chuck Season-2 “Sneak Peek” Pre­miere: Chuck Ver­sus The First Date

If you have missed the other sea­son pre­mieres of some of the shows I have listed above, you may check them out below:

PS. On a side note (Design-wise), the only biggest grudge at the moment with Hulu is the dimen­sion it uses: 512px by 296px. Hence, at the time of this writ­ing, I have my main content’s width to 550px. I would like to have 500px to keep things clean and in order but with the use of dif­fer­ent video sites (i.e. Youtube, Hulu, Video, …), it is safer to use this much space for now; though it irks me when the copy goes of to the right of a 500px video.
