Month: April 2006

TiVo is one of the greatest inventions of all time. Not only does it allow you to watch shows you would have probably missed, but it allows you to catch subtle details no one even sees. For example, yesterday I watched a segment on the Daily Show with Rob Corddry about intolerance towards Racists. At the end of the segment Rob made a joke about all the races he dislikes and a list of the scrolled across the screen so fast there’s no way you could read them all.

To see what was on the list I used TiVo to slow it down and there were a ton of crazy entries like vegans, pre-op-transexuals, south africans (except the whites), Stephen Colbert, etc.

One of the entries said something like, “People who like to pause lists. What do you think this is, Lost?”

Farther down the line was an email address and I wondered if anyone had it. I sent an email to it and got this response.

Dear Ben,

Thanks for your email. Please enjoy this semi-personalized response, and an autographed picture with a special message just for you.

Best,
Rob

I have three invites to the Allpeers beta program. Does anyone want in? It’s basically a P2P file sharing extension for Firefox that lets you share files with your friends.

More info on it here.

First of all I have to give props to my cousin Jessica for scoring the highest score ever in the GameShow last month. She beat out Holly in the last two days.

For some reason my iPod stopped syncing up properly with iTunes, so I reformatted it and am in the process of loading everything back on.

The big Audubon yard sale is this weekend and I’ll be selling a bunch of things I don’t need. I’ve been pretty good with not holding on to stuff I won’t use, but you should always try to purge once a year.

Jeanne bought me two bags of craisins today!

Want to hear the Flaming Lips cover Bohemian Rhapsody? Sorry, the link is broken now. Their new album came out today.
