TiVo has signed a deal with Comcast to provide software for the cable company’s DVR boxes. The new boxes should be available sometime in 2006. This should put at least a temporary hold on the TiVo deathwatch. Now, if only TiVo would sign a deal with Time Warner, preferably before my current TiVo box dies.
A nasty little virus has been migrating around my workplace over the last couple months. People who’ve had it say that it kicked their ass all the way into the next week. I’ve managed to avoid it so far, but I’m getting paranoid. If I’m in a meeting with someone who’s coughing or sneezing, I’ll sit in the opposite corner of the room. I’m thinking about asking everyone who comes into my office wear a filter mask. I’ve even drafted plans for a plastic bubble that will envelop my entire wheelchair. Speaking of, wasn’t that the cheesiest movie ever. It’s so cheesy that to call it such is an insult to cheese. It’s the Cheez Wiz of television movies. John Travolta should have dropped dead as soon as he stepped out of that damn spacesuit. Now, that would have been cool.
