Information Overload

Sorry for the long stretch of nothing but video. The time has come to end my silence. I have been driving quite a bit lately and after so many hours of driving you grow bored with music -- even the wealth of music available on Sirius Satellite Radio available in the 2007 Mercury Milan.

So, like the boring old man I am quickly becoming, I find myself turning the dial to news radio. Fox, CNN, MS NBC, etc. They all find joy in over-reporting the next big story.

Unfortunately, the best news NASA Astronaut Lisa Nowak heard last week was that Anna Nicole died. Suddenly people quit talking about her.

After two weeks of listening this is what I know so far:
  • Anna Nicole is still dead
  • We don't know who the father is
  • There are at least six candidates for the presidential primary
  • There are a few more candidates for the the father of Anna Nicole's baby
  • Even Astronauts make huge, embarrassing, diaper-wearing mistakes

In other, more important news: Our household has been blessed with the Tivo box! I seriously do not know how we functioned without this before. It will completely change the way we watch television.

Last night, Suz an I watched back-to-back episodes of Lost. I still have a headache from trying to figure out what is going on. Tivo is a definite 'Recommended Buy' in my book. I was skeptical at first, but wow.
