I try my best to keep my blog family friendly so would never dream of using the 'C' word here.  What 'C' word is that, Ant?  It's the one that can be found buried inside the name of the northern English town of Scunthorpe.

I reckon the 'T' is just about okay, at least in the context of this post.  Funny thing is I always thought it was limited in use to just the UK and Ireland, didn't know the Yanks used it too (although, rather ironically, they pronounce it a lot posher than we do).

Anyway, enough of my jibber jabber, below is a video of Stephen Colbert on NBC's Today Show telling host, Meredith Vieira that he has twatted on Twitter...

*anywhere you've got mobile reception, that is!

Early this morning I enjoyed an episode of The Simpsons whilst waiting for my train home and, on the train itself, an episode of The Colbert Report.  This was on the Hulu site via the Skyfire browser on my N95 8GB.  Oh, and in the UK.  How awesome is that?  In my mind, very!

I knew NBC and Fox were on Hulu, had no idea about Comedy Central until then.  I'm in TV heaven!

Just tried MTV Music's site as well and that didn't work, but fortunately Truveo.com's mirror (for want of a better word) does.

Cheers goes to Nokiaaddict's gerrymoth for alerting me to Skyfire being available for all and that Hulu worked on it.

Just received a reply in response to my email to John Kreuzer, the guy in charge of the mBlox account at Silicon Valley PR firm McGrath/Power.  It's short and sweet.  Well short, anyway.  On the face of it, it looks like they're beginning to listen (I know already they like to read... well my blog posts anyway!)

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for forwarding this to us. We sent your email directly to mBlox and hope that you receive a quick resolution to your situation.

Thanks again!

John

Does kinda seem like it's a bog standard, "we haven't really read your email and probably haven't passed it on verbatim" kinda response.  But, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, 'cos that's the guy I am.  Anyway, I enjoy reading his blog and he seems a nice enough guy.  Shame he's stuck representing mBlox, surely McGrath/Power have far more worthy clients that could benefit from his skills?

It would seem we have quite a lot in common John, I notice you read SMStextnews*, Engadget and enjoy The Daily Show and Colbert too.  Damn fine, damn fine.  Let the truthiness commence...

*you should fly over to the next Unlimited Drinks, perhaps get the client to pick up the tab...
