    I came across a great video about the publishing industries future from GUESS WHO? Penguin Publishing – one of the biggest publishers in the world. Now I can go on a rant and tell you what I think of the video but I think it might be better if you form opinions without my prior judgements.

    Let me know what you think!

    It seems like everyone wants to know how to watch Hulu in Canada. So I decided to make a short post showing you some options to make it happen.

    Like in most instances in life – there is a hard way and an easy way.

    The Easy Way:

    The fastest and the easiest way to watch Hulu in Canada is to download Hotpost Shield. It is a program that runs in a background that promises to – “Protect the web for your security, privacy, and anonymity.” Although their promise isn’t 100% as my browser randomly started jumping to Hotspot Shield pages during my browsing sessions. Nevertheless, it does the trick. I suggest to have it running only when you want to watch something on Hulu.

    The Hard Way (Set Up a VPN):

    Lengthy process that only the true geeks will probably use but it works as well. James Golick has an awesome guide how to set up a VPN and I highly suggest you follow his lead. You can find it here.

    Have fun people and don’t watch too much HULU, I hear it is bad for your relationships.

    As Alvin Toffler once said, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” The fast paced world that we live in requires us to quickly to do the three skills mentioned above – learn, unlearn, and relearn sometime on a daily basis. Formal education does teach us the fundamentals however we all recognize that the fundamentals are no longer enough.  And by the time we graduate from university or a college, the education we have received may be completely irrelevant.

    This is why each and every one of us should pay close attention to new concepts, ideas, and movements that are happening around us. And try to educate ourselves as much as possible when the movement is here to stay.
