Samurai Champloo is a guilty pleasure and the first TiVo season pass I've added in recent memory. WP isn't very clear on what the title means, but it sounds like it can translate to "Samurai Remix", which would make sense.



I really like ZipCar. It occurred to me today that I've spent two months driving around other peoples' cars, without speaking to a single person about it at any time; all of my transactions, from signup to making reservations to paying my bill, have been over the Web. That's really great.

Rising gas prices might be very good or very bad for the company, depending. I hope it's the former, if it has to be either.

Yeah, I am hoping that more expensive gas will translate to more customers, which will then mean they can keep their rates competitive despite the gas. (And maybe expand their fleet too... I'd be less happy if the handful of cars near my house became harder to reserve.)

I don't really know how much of an incentive that "free" gas is, though; I switched from car owner to ZipCar customer to save on insurance, which is horrendous in MA. I didn't even know they covered gas until I started using their service (insofar as you're actually paying them to cover it... but it's an undeniably nice feeling to go for a $10 spin and buy $30 of gas with someone else's card).
