I just want to give some props to Dr. Tiki over there at the Tiki Bar Tv podcast. He just uploaded one of his most recent episodes “Blue Hawaiian” to dotsub.com, a place for people to upload films and add subtitles. They let you embed the films so I guess you could say that it is a youTube for the deaf and non(insert language here) speaking viewers, well as long as you can translate and upload the text.

I hope more podcasters will follow suit as many people out there would love to watch these videos but just cannot hear what is being said. To that I say Cheers and Mahalo Dr. Tiki

So life without cable has led me to seeking out other viewing materials. I like so many people these days am hooked on TV, now I have limited myself to watching podcasts and whatever shows I can download of the internet. Now more of my paycheck is going to itunes but still not as much as I was paying for cable, even if you tie in the netflix subscription.

The main podcasts I have been watching are channel frederator which is full of original cartoons submitted by a variety of artists, all of the national geographic podcast to get my wildlife and nature fix, and the comedy central stand up clips. I have also been building my French with the French podcast and watching the yoga podcast to pick up some moves. On the occasion I watch the Vintage tooncast to see old merry melodies, popeye, superman, and other cartoons of the like.

So as long as I keep finding good podcasts and itunes keeps offering shows like the daily show, battlestar galactica, and lost I’ll never have to get cable again, which is nice because I’m sick of all the commercials.
