I have tested many tools and websites that promised to stream TV perfectly. I think I finally found one that works: Livestream.

It’s cross platform, small, easy on your systems resources and delivers good quality. As usual with new contenders in the field the variety of GOOD channels is a bit weak. But I am very happy with the small number of news channel - which suit me perfectly (Al-Jazera, BBC World News, CNN and C-SPAN).

Since I download all other TV shows either via iTunes or Bittorrent I only need news (as it happens) anyway. Why wait till something I like is broadcast at a certain time - I want to control my video consumption and not follow the linear programming of a TV station.

So it’s highly recommended for news junkies.

Pimp my FireFox! I love this hilarious skin for my favorite browser. Make sure to also visit it’s official website www.pimpzilla.nl.

Scott Johnson has created this great series of the 56 Geek types. it’s just brilliant and such a homage on modern day geeky lifestyle.

So here are all 56 geeks - check out which subculture you belong too - I have listed mine above (as much as I can find myself in there).

What is seriously missing is: porn geek, websurf geek, google geek, notebook geek, blog geek, art geek, green geek, nature geek and office geek.
