The Coolest Thing You Probably Aren't Watching on the Internet

"My name is Russell Schumacher. I sold technology to the world back when there was technology...and people to sell it to."

And so starts the internet show "Afterworld" which can be seen on Youtube, Myspace and Budtv.com. The latter the best- you can see up to episode 70, which new episodes released every business day.

The premise is fairly simple, in the beginning anyway. Russell leaves his wife and daughter in Seattle and travels to New York City for a business trip. When he awakens the next morning, he discovers there is no electricity and very few people. Clearly something strange and horrific has happened, but no one knows what.

Here's the first episode:



If you are over 21, I recommend signing up at www.budtv.com. The episodes run anywhere from 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes- easy to watch on a lunch break or when you need a little time out. And it's addictive and creepy- you can't ask for much more (other than longer episodes).
