The N. Period

2400+ Hulu Invites Available

In case you are not familiar with the video service Hulu, now is your chance to jump on board. Hulu is currently in beta testing and you can only access it via an invite. Luckily here is a link to 2400+ invites at the time of this writing. On-demand television programming and some movies are available on Hulu, and I have used it to catch up on the Season 4 The Office episodes that I missed due to NBC jumping ship from the iTunes store. Much props to a great service that only stands to get better. Did I mention FREE? Well, it’s free, so follow the link and start watching some video. Content from NBC, FOX, the Bravo, Fuel TV, FX, Sci Fi, Style, Sundance, and Oxygen channels. P.S. Fans of Steve Martin will be happy to know that The Jerk is on Hulu in its entirety. ***UPDATE*** The invites for the above link are all gone. But I found some more here, here, and here. Boo-yah.

So you know who passed away on November 22? Flint, MI rapper MC Breed died yesterday in his sleep after complications he had been having with his kidneys. On September 5, Breed collapsed while playing pickup basketball and was hospitalized and placed on life support when his kidneys failed. R.I.P. Breed, and remember, there ain’t no future in your frontin’.

***UPDATE***

So I was watching video again and am I completely stupid that I just now realized the the the video for “Ain’t No Future in Yo’ Frontin’” was shot in Dallas? This makes my initially innocent reference to JFK somehow have more relevance, right?

Need the proof? Around the 1:24 mark, when the lady in the tight black dress is dancing in front of the city, you can clearly make out the dinstinctive keyhole in the Chase Bank Tower. Also, to further the remembrance of those whose service is sadly no longer our privelige, keep a look out around the 2:13 mark, where the gone-but-not-forgotten Good Latimer Tunnel bares it’s tell-tale “1930″ marking that can be seen here. I cannot believe that I just noticed this.

	yes the video was shot in Dallas. I met Breed looooong time ago when I worked at venue Showroom in Dallas. He was performing there that evening. I wouldn’t let him go out the emergency door lol. Ain’t No Future in Yo Frontin’ is a classic and I will listen to it til I die. RIP Breed.
