Long live the DVR

How did we ever survive without the greatness of pausing live television?
What were we thinking, being o.k. with watching sports without the rewind button?
Was T.V. really worth watching before DVR was introduced into the homes avid watchers?

Here I am fast forwarding through commercials of the Cowboys preseason game. What a happy day. While the actual game was being played I multi-tasked. I ate dinner, mowed the front yard, took a walk with BARAK, played some Madden 07, took a shower and checked the mail. Then I sat down and watched the first half of a game in a fraction of the actual time.

I don't think I can ever go back. But here is a thought---- What if the cable company is working like the gas company. They make us so dependent on their product we forget about that fact that we can find jobs where we walk or ride bikes. Or that there are such things as excessive amounts of channels.

What if they are in it together????

I'm an idiot.
