I recruited another member to the revolution...

That's the TiVo-lution. Everyone loves TiVo, if you don't it's because you haven't used one yet. I'm telling you, this will change the way you watch television. After 48 hours, Jennifer is now a TiVo-addict. She was excited this morning when she checked to see if it recorded her show in the middle of the night and was going home to see if it taped her other shows for her.

If you think you want one of these try it. If you don't like it take it back. TiVo offers a 30 day trial on their web site.

A different kind of Monday

So you know how Mondays are: it's the beginning of the week, it's back to work, it's raining and it's cold and there is a board meeting so you have to be at work until 9 at night... So it was that same kind of day. Almost...

For one thing my presentation (technology update as to what we've been up to, what we're doing and what we will be doing) to the board went very well and I even got a few questions the audience in addition to the questions from the board members.

Plus I got some other good news that I'll tell you more about later since I haven't even mentioned it to friends/family/co-workers yet and a few minor details hammered out still (so I'm going to hold it in for another day or three). But I'm very excited...

Rider, Alex Rider

So I've started reading these books Stormbreaker, Point Blank and Skeleton Key.

Alex Rider
Alex Rider, who as all good kid characters happen to be is an orphan, ends up being a junior spy for MI-6 (spy group in London). It's a kid's book, so you need a little suspension of disbelief, but it's really well done. It's even educational at times (I learned a bit about the breakup of Russia). He even gets some neat spy gizmos to carry around (no guns). The books do build on each other so be sure to read them in order (Stormbreaker is the first). Also to keep in mind is that I think each book has been better than the previous one, so if you only like the first one a little, give the next one a chance. The author's name is Anthony Horowitz (I just realized I left that out, March 18th, 2005)
