One of the downsides to using an operating system that doesn’t require you to reboot it all the time is that you occasionally find something open on another desktop that you’ve completely forgotten about.

About a month ago, I spent 5 minutes before work roughing out a stupid idea I’d had while half asleep. Then 31 days passed, and I forgot all about it.

I’ve since lost interest in the idea, but figure I’ll share the rough version anyway:

I’m not what you would call a “Doctor Who fan,” but we’ve been watching all of the recent series on our Roku Netflix box lately. There are a lot of pretty cheesy episodes, but I’ve generally enjoyed most of them.

However, the other night we watched an episode entitled “Blink,” from season/series 3 (episode 10), which I believe originally aired in 2007. Holy crap that was a good episode. I mean, not a “good — you know, for Doctor Who” type of good, but a seriously fantastic hour of television. The story is great, the writing is great, the villains are great. It’s scary. It’s clever.

In short, it’s amazing.

If you’ve not seen this particular episode, I heartily recommend doing so. Netflix streams it here and an illicit download can be easily found if you’re not a Netflix subscriber.

Remember last year when I wrote Amazon a letter suggesting that they put Kindle content on non-Kindle devices? Well, they listened to me:

You’re welcome.

Now I just hope that the Android version comes along quickly at the heels of the iPhone version, because I don’t use my iPhone. (Want to buy an iPhone?)
