Site Updates - Firefox Issues
Yes, the site has an issue when using Firefox. Hopefully it will be corrected in the very near future. Until then, please try to ignore the large gaping space that appears between the first and second posts. If you can’t ignore the endless expanse of blue nothingness, you can always use Internet Explorer, the site seems to display as intended when using that browser. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience, or for insulting anyone’s aesthetic sensibilities.

TV News - Supernatural Online
The WB is allowing viewers to get a sneak peak at its new show, Supernatural, which begins airing next week. The entire premiere episode will be available online at Yahoo! for viewers to watch until the show airs on Tuesday. It’s nice to see more networks embracing the idea of putting content online. Sci Fi also made an entire episode of Battlestar Galactica available on their website during that show’s first season and it certainly didn’t hurt their ratings. Hopefully, this sneak peek will pay off for The WB and will encourage more networks to follow suit.
My only beef? The episode is only available to US residents. Oh well, I guess it’s better than nothing.
