Nook Color Netflix Hack

Unfortunately, the playback is slightly choppy on my Phiremod 5.1 CM7 Gingerbread OC’d to 975MHz. So maybe this is why it’s not a supported device. I’ll try again after updating to Phiremod Nook 6.2. UPDATE: Playback is smooth after update to Phiremod 6.2.

Book Of Mormon

I love the work of Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of South Park.  I was dying to experience their latest Broadway musical: “The Book of Mormon”, but couldn’t make it to Broadway.

The soundtrack which has been released is nearly, almost, not quite as good as going to a live show, but still supremely enjoyable.  The recording engineering is impeccable, you can pinpoint each singer on the stage with what seems like 3D stereo sound.

I think that all religions should be poked fun of in similar ways, Matt & Trey are fortunate that Mormons are not inclined to execute those who defame their faith.

Listen to the ENTIRE soundtrack for FREE at NPR.org
