How did we ever get around without DVR? I mean you had your Must See TV and the Sunday night line-up and who knows what might premiere on a Tuesday. There was barely enough time to eat, let alone get in all of that idiot box gawking.

Seriously, I’m not as bad as I used to be with TV watching. There are only a few shows that I watch regularly, and I know that if I miss them I can just download them on eMule later.

I’m sure by now you all know about the whole Free iPods thing. No, it is not a scam. But you do take the risk of not getting anything but some spam out of the whole deal. I decided to take a look at some of the offers around to see if anything looked worthwhile (no really interested in an iPod). Well, I would like an XBox, but Lisa would probably be really pissed if I bought one. So I found Smart Conga Line (a site that tries to pool people referrals together to make it as efficient as possible) and signed up at Prize Cube because it only required 3 referrals.

I’m not gonna beg here or anything. If you guys are interested, you can give me a referral directly or sign up at the conga line to help out a stranger (and possibly me). Don’t worry, I won’t be offended if no one does it. But I figured I’d give it a try.
