Bradtastic Approved

I’m soon adding a new page to bradtastic.com called “Bradtastic Approved” to explain the significance of me liking something.

Most recently, I’ve had fun playing Epic Games’ Gears of War 2, watching FOX’s Fringe and Netflix. (Click here to join me at Netflix!)

I joined Netflix because of the “new XBOX LIVE Experience,” a UI-upgrade for the 360. Aside from adding little “Wii-like” avatars and a new marketplace interface, is the integration of Netflix “WI,” or “watch instantly.”

Personally, I love “watch instantly.” There’s thousands of movies, stuff I’d seen years ago, pre-DVD releases, and some newer “blockbusters” and major releases. My favorite selections have been the documentaries and History Channel/TV offerings… and I’ve finally seen Helvetica.

Not all of Netflix’s “WI” movies are available on the 360, but with a simple Silverlight download, movies can be streamed to any PC. It’s impressive… and is making me rethink my obsession with iTunes video downloads.

I don’t blog casually enough… often enough. My Bradtastic.com posts are carefully-crafted and as poignant as possible, and it’s become reasonably-difficult for me to feel okay about posting “any ol’ crap” there—aka random events from my daily life. The blog is mostly philosophical thought-pieces… and far away from the topics relationships and social dynamics.

I’m going to figure out how to change this.

There’s some new cool stuff at Bradtastic Tumblr, too… including links to clothing/apparel and lifehack/GTD utilities.
