Bit the bullet!
I finally got the one thing I’ve been wanting FOREVER…a TiVo. Do you know what this means?
1. No more missed Project Runway (shut up), Dirty Jobs or Best Week Ever (although.. it is now on podcast form).
2. A “real” excuse to stay in on a Friday/Saturday night, because WoW doesn’t cut it with my friends anymore (“Sorry, gotta stay in, I’ve saved up a a season of “So You Think You Can Dance?”)
3. I can record sporting events and fast-forward through said “event” to the good commercials.
4. I can finally watch the CNET VOD content that we work on.
So this is the special that I got: 40 Hour TiVo Series 2 for free, with 12-month pre-pay subscription. Not bad! Naturally, the second I announced on the podcast that I bought a TiVo, here is the response:
“Now that Veronica bought a TiVo, the Apple DVR will be out tomorrow!”
Of course. Luckily for me, there was an article posted on TUAW today that said I don’t have anything to worry about. *phew* It would be just my luck, wouldn’t it?

Wooh! Go V!
Sports is best to watch at 30x speed, slowing down where there is not a replay. The rest is cr*p.
On my TiVo like device in the UK, I’m saving up Season 5 of 24 to watch in my ‘week of 24 event’ as when its planned for, the DVD set will not be out in time!
40 hours, will that be enough? You know, to have enough stuff to watch over a weekend?
Have fun and enjoy taking your TV viewing experience!
