Last night, I spent over an hour trying to figure out why the display on my new universal remote appeared to be frozen. I was downloading firmware, scouring messageboards, and hurling insults at the infernal gadget–insults that would make a merchant marine’s blood run cold. Just as I was about to abandon my efforts, I glanced once more at the thing. I realized that I hadn’t removed the protective sticker covering the display.
My ability to outwit myself is one of my more charming attributes.
