tivo

i love tivo. not a big fan of generic watching of t.v., necessarily, but tivo is good stuff. i am one of those people that can't stand to watch more than an hour or two of t.v. in a day, and this includes watching the news while i run at the gym. i think we should get off our tails and get outside, read, etc. but yes, all that said, i am still a fan of tivo. it allows me to get in and watch the few things i love, then jump back out of t.v. land and enjoy something else.

i am a fairly young person. i never dreamed (as i walked across the room when i was young to change the t.v. from gilligan's island to the dukes of hazzard) that i would be able to not only do this remotely at some point, but be able to rewind it, record it while i'm not there, fast forward, etc.

i have a tivo, and i use it often. but i really realized it's power at the curb your enthusiasm (greatness, by the way) season premiere party i went to sunday night. it was during this party that i realized that we are so spoiled, many of us now have not only a t.v. in every room, but seperate tivo boxes in each room, creating the ability to record A LOT of t.v. i have not yet reached the spoils of having tivo in every room, and don't know that i want to (hence my previous soapbox of getting away from the t.v.), but i have to say, somewhere inside of me i was thinking, wow, that's pretty cool.
