Reasons To Stream - Kung Fu, And Vodka

Ad

I have to give you a heads up on two heart warming streaming media participants who actually didn't have much streaming going on, but made the show bearable for me. The first one is from a company called 8legged .

Call up a good recipe for a Vodka Martini on your iPaq. Killer app, if there ever was one.

Now, the guys at 8legged tried to convince me that Tom's Hardware Guide readers are probably going to be anti-Flash, which is their tool of choice for creating content. I had to tell them that once people see their tutorial on mixing the perfect Vodka Martini delivered to an iPaq they would appreciate how useful it is to have multimedia content on a handheld. In a pinch, no one needs to get access to CNN, or the latest episode of Sex and the City, but flip this baby open at a party, and download an animated cocktail recipe, and you will be revered.

On the other hand, there's Ford Minton (Producer), and Todd Roy (Director), who run Kwoon.tv . It was started in a warehouse in Sunnyvale, California by 3 Kung Fu students. Basically, they have 3 episodes of Kung Fu action in the can on the site, and well, I like Kung Fu flicks, and heck, everyone should have a site like this, otherwise what is the point of digital encoding of video anyways. I almost felt like I was back in the age of innocence, when people did stuff on the Web because, they liked doing it. Yup, I didn't quite understand what these two expected out of life or their site, but I'm willing to bet that they'll be at the Sundance Film Festival sometime soon.

Todd Ray (left), and Ford Minto of Kwoon.tv. If you are wondering about that word at the top of the picture - it's part of a witty tag line that escapes me right now, but rest assured that these gentlemen don't have anything lascivious anywhere on their site.
