Surfing YouTube as a Family

As I mentioned earlier, the lack of HD content on iTunes for the Apple TV has been disappointing. We have enjoyed some HD podcasts, but there are no TV shows or movies in HD.

It turns out that the Apple TV is fabulous for surfing YouTube as a family. On the weekends especially, Maki and CJ take turns watching YouTube videos that interest them. It goes something like this. Maki will watch a video on glass blowing or how to make speakers. Then CJ will ask for a Thomas video. Maki will then search for videos on Stonehenge or soldering. Then CJ will ask for a Thomas video. It's hilarious. Best of all, we get to watch these crazy videos in our TV room, on our comfy purple couch, on the big screen. Some of the videos look better than others on the big screen, but it almost doesn't matter.
