The long awaited, open-source Democracy platform is a project of the Participatory Culture Foundation allowing you to subscribe to video RSS feeds (including podcasts, video blogs, and BitTorrent feeds), watch fullscreen and share with friends.
So I checked out Democracy and was impressed at the layout and that I was actually able to download content right away from the predefined feeds. I started watching a recent rocketboom without a hitch. That isn’t to say that there are no bugs. Full screen works, but with multiple monitors it scretches across both screen thus not supporting xinerama. The channel menu does not work for me and when I went to the channel guide and clicked on “more…” for a channel it bombs out. I later found out that I needed to make sure you add the mozilla prefs as specified on the DemoTV wiki. There are alot of options for IPTV and I’m sure it will only grow. Democracy allows one to view all of these options easily and subscribing to feeds is straight forward and the interface seems intuative. It looks very promising and I look forward to a stable build soon. See screenshots inside….

Yes. I know what you are thinking. It’s a new years resolution that will be short lived, but I think I’ve come to the point where I’m sick of being sick and tired. So I set out to find a few articles on getting back in shape without having to pay alot of money to the gym. The consensus is if I can get 20 min or more of intense cardio 3 times a week a could be loosing fat and staying fit. Here are some of the links I found that helped out:
So there is no more excuses for us geek not to do something about our health. Get out there and get moving.

Take a caffeine nap – Lifehacker
I’ve seen this info in a couple of places but stumbled upon it again today. Take a look see. It is abasically saying to take a nap after drinking caffeine as a way to get a extra super power nap. Basically you drink a cup of coffee, soda, etc that as caffeine and then take a 15 min nap no longer no shorter. Interesting indeed. I think I might try it.
