I'm again amused by how things change in just a few short years. Here are some more examples!
Almost exactly three years ago, I posted a blog survey that was geared toward us geeky types. Rereading it today, I laughed out loud at the first question and my answer.
- Did you not only sigh the biggest sigh of relief ever once you saw that Apple had introduced the iPhone, but you also thought it was totally the coolest phone ever? More like rolled my eyes. Yet another gadget that Chris will insist he must have, but will never use (like his iPod).
One part of my prediction came true: Chris had to have one. But that's the only thing I was right about. Not only is the thing glued to his hand, but so is mine to my hand!
Here's another item from the same quiz that I thought was interesting... and timely.
- Did you tell your Broadband ISP to take their Cable Modem and shove it and go buy your own (a real one!)? Yup, and eventually we'll be telling them to take their whole service and shove it when Verizon's FiOS becomes available in our neighborhood.
Finally, three years and one day after writing that, this Saturday, it's happening. We're getting FiOS. I am so excited, and can't wait to tell Cox Cable "goodbye and good riddance!"
Also about three years ago, I participated in Friday's Feast, a weekly five question meme - each question a "course" in a five course meal - which sadly doesn't appear to be around anymore.
- Appetizer
Which television shows do you just refuse to miss?
Well I can't give you my entire Season Pass list off of my TiVo, so let's see if I can narrow it down to just the ones that I will insist on watching again if I fall asleep. 24, House, ER, Heroes, The Office, Scrubs, Criminal Minds, Jericho, Brothers & Sisters, Grey's Anatomy, and Lost.
All of those shows remain on the "can't miss" list, with exception of a couple which have been canceled. But now, I can show you the entire TiVo list, because just last night I took twenty photos to document the entire list just in case we have to rebuild it after the FiOS switch on Saturday. Now, I don't watch all of these shows: some are Chris' shows and some are just filler material we keep a couple of episodes of for those times when there is nothing else to watch. I'll leave it to you to figure out what's what.
