AIM, Firefox and the O.C.

UW housing just released a way to watch TV on your computer. Called Digital Academic Television (DATV) [and a pretty lame acronym], the service allows housing residents to watch ten channels including CNN and all local channels by using Quicktime.

Although I do have a tv less than 5 feet from my computer, it is nice to be able to watch something while I'm working on the computer, or while my roommate's asleep. Also nice for people who don't have a TV. I've been messing around with it and watching four different channels at the same time, just because I can.
