A Semi-Rollout
I can imagine boys of a certain age joking, “Pee… cock. Get it?” I was once a boy of a certain age, so there you go. But for whatever reason, somebody at NBC/Universal decided to call their new streaming service Peacock TV. Not being a Comcast customer I couldn’t watch Peacock until today, and I’m doing that now only because access is free with commercials.
The two properties that interest me are the classic Universal monster movies…
… and the Alfred Hitchcock films and TV series.
Peacock is being rolled out without support for Roku or Amazon streaming devices, which greatly limits its coverage, but I have a Chromecast puck on the porch TV. Well, I’d better get back to my viewing!

- Medicare for all

Replaced in a Flash
Fourteen years ago, one of the first things I did on this weblog was post the complete 4-LP Wizard of OZ Living Literature box set I remember so fondly from my childhood. With the imminent demise of browser support for the Adobe Flash plugin, I’ve been contemplating editing each of the posts to put HTML5 tags around the MP3 links. Good things come to those who wait, because Greg Ehrbar, a Cartoon Research contributor, has made his own transfer of the audio book and posted it on YouTube.
