A few days ago I finally got a working network adaptor for my TiVo, and was able to pack away the 25-foot phone cable that snaked across my apartment. (Still have to shut off the now completely unused Verizon connection, though.) Today, TiVo, sensing my new connection, sent me an ad for its $100 "Home Media Option". I have no idea yet why I'd want it, but signed up for the one-month free trial anyway after the nice TiVo lady specifically said that I wouldn't have to call and cancel if I decided not to buy it afterwards, which I'm fairly certain is the exact opposite of every other media company I have dealt with in the last five years.

Man... TiVo does everything right. TiVo is my mommy. Thank you, glass teat.

The sad thing is that I do not remember how it is that I watched TV before TiVo! I look back on those days as a Wall Street Businessman my gaze back upon the dark ages.

"Barbaric!"
