I cannot express in words just how excited I am that HBO is finally, finally available sans cable subscription. Today, when I saw that it had launched, I immediately signed up. HBO's programming (it surely goes without saying) is top-notch and well worth the $15 a month.

I'd gotten a taste of that HBO goodness last year, when a friend of mine shared her HBO Go account with me, but I always hated having to mooch. And since I'm not a fan of pirating shows, I wanted a fair way for me to get HBO content.

And now it's here.

Fast Company has a nice longform article about the backstory to HBO Now—its history and how it came to be. It's worth a read.

Now I'm going to crawl into bed and watch some programming that's not TV. It's HBO.
