Our Digital Future

I keep starting posts about our trip to England and they keep going nowhere, so I think I'll prime the pump with the kind of lightweight, off the cuff observations y'all have come to expect from the Baxblog.


A while back Bobo linked a trailer, the new flick from the guy behind The Host. We're on a bit of a Korean cinema kick at the homestead so it went on the watch list.

The other day I'm browsing Roku...and there it is! Streaming, on Netflix, for free (or rather $8.99 a month, which given our rate of consumption qualifies for that old Nuclear Power canard "too cheap to meter")!

I add it to the queue, chortling at my good fortune.

This morning as I'm opening up I notice the record shop has a copy of the DVD fronted in their window for $24.99.

Free, or $24.99...the conundrum of our digital age.

    Well, they were half right. I pay much less for music now.
