Here is some stuff I have been reading that I thought folks might like: February 8th – Thoughts on the Misogyny Bowl in advertising (versus a truly uplifting game) – "The way for a man to regain his balls/spine, suggested the ad, was to get a Flo TV so that he could passively-aggressively watch his game while pointedly ignoring his wife on their outing while technically obeying her overbearing feminine demands he’s powerless to resist openly." February 8th – Polydora – I saw a thing on a blog the other day saying that poly was becoming more main stream – [...]

So I have to admit that one of the things I like best about having a new fancy Tivo is streaming stuff from Netflix.
