krikit media presents...

I know our streaming service wasn't slow so much until the last month or two - definitely reaching unbearable levels the last few weeks ...if there is a reasonable explanation, I'd love to hear it.

Alternatives do exist: Amazon Prime streaming is actually cheaper than Netflix if you break it down by month, plus it's more likely to work on my home Linux machines (the only place we can use Netflix is on the Wii or the Android devices)..

As a favor, please let us know if you use Amazon Prime or any other alternative. We're definitely looking for better...

Baby Changing Friendly! Target - Lancaster, CA

Fri, 16 Dec 2011 23:57:00 -0800

As parents of a 13-month-old, we've been thinking it would be cool if we had an easy way to remember where the baby changing stations are around town. The thought that others might find it useful crossed our minds as well... So here's the 1st!

Walking into the Lancaster, CA Target men's restroom, the 1st thing you see is this changing station. Actually, that's my only complaint... you're kinda on display for everybody going to & fro as you change the little monkeys. Otherwise, it's sturdy & it doesn't really cause any traffic blockage or anything. There was also what looked like a double paper-towel dispenser as well, although it may have been something of a seat-protector between your kid and the public change area - I had our changing pad, so I didn't need to find out ;) ...

Bottom Line: Good, sturdy changing station with enough room to not feel "in the way" or have other's be in way of changing your little monkeys.

R.I.P. Joe Simon

Sorry to hear that Joe Simon has passed away yesterday...

The Co-Creator of Captain America, among others, he was a great creative who managed to leave a lasting impression on the industry (despite Martin Goodman's trickery on he & Kirby during the early Captain America disputes).

#30Characters Challenge 2011: #2 Obama-Bot

Fri, 25 Nov 2011 22:44:00 -0800

The Obama-Bot says that he’s a “change” from your previous model of battle-mech, but the longer we see him in action, the more his “pop-out-under-hand-cannons” & other such attack weapons seem to be virtually identical to previous battle-mech’s…

Will we see some new maneuvers from the O-Bot, or will he have us looking for old Gobots reruns?
