TiVo.com | TiVo(R) Series3(TM) HD
Existing TiVo lifetime subscribers can transfer their subscription to a new “Series 3” HD box. This is an incredibly smart move by TiVo — A tasty carrot to encourage their existing customers to upgrade to the new hardware while it’s still full price.
Apple Showtime: iTV "One More Thing" Photos - Gizmodo
Apple’s forthcoming hardware to stream music/video/photos over WiFi from your PC to your TV and Stereo. My uneducated bet: It’ll also stream music wirelessly (over Bluetooth, probably) from an iPod that’ll be launched in January.
Copley Place Security Guard
This is the security guard at the offices in Copley Place.
Joy works there, and I was going to visit her. This guard asked for my ID, and when I gave her my driver's license, she started typing all the information from it (license number, home address, date of birth) into her computer. I complained, asked about privacy policies, was refused any explanation for what they might do with my data, demanded my ID back, and I was refused entry, so Joy came down to meet me.
While I was waiting for Joy, I took a photo of the guard just to piss her off more. (I actually turned the flash on my cellphone on, just so it was completely clear what I was doing).
Yes, I am a smartarse.
Johnston (typeface) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Turns out that the official London Underground typeface is not, as I had been lead to believe, Gill Sans, but instead “Johnston”.
Zabeth with Napkin
A discussion of Zabs's grapes-up-schnozz shot pretty much demanded a reenactment with whatever was nearby and nose-sized.
It's like groovymother.com, only without the URL which can be misconstrued to indicate I'm female.
I’m dicking around with SixApart’s new Vox service. Go subscribe there if you want to see me answer memes.
