I’ve got eight episodes of Battlestar Galactica on my TiVo alerady. (They had a mini-marathon on the SciFi channel today.) Yikes.
new TiVo
I went out and bought a TiVo today. It seems to be working OK so far, but I do have to say that the IR blaster is a total kludge. It looks silly, and it takes longer than it should to change channels. All cable boxes, TVs, VCRs, etc, should have a standard serial port. Or Bluetooth. How hard would that be?
I now have a TV, VCR, DVD player, laserdisc player, PlayStation 2, and a TiVo. I think I’m done with A/V equipment for now. I have no room to put anything else!
Light The Night update
I’m up to $175 on my Light The Night page. Yay!
iPod Shuffle
A fun atricle from the New York Times about using the shuffle feature on the iPod. I know it’s random, but it’s really easy to believe it isn’t. My iPod, for instance, seems to have a thing for the soundtrack to the movie Pi. It just comes up way too often.
No Music, No Life!
An interesting cancer benefit: In Honor. Only ten bucks from Tower Records.
Light The Night
Yay! I got my first donation for Light The Night.
No More Phish
Saving TiVo
Saving TiVo: I’m still trying to decide if it’s worth getting a TiVo, or if the company will be pushing up daisies before the year’s out.

The Lizard
Starfish gene could be key to regenerating lost limbs: Strangely similar to the origin of The Lizard.
