    Life has been moving so fast lately (despite the traffic)...

    I know this has nothing to do with the title of this entry, but we FINALLY received our new cable box at the apartment. It's an high definition digital cable box + DVR.

    A friend of mine asked me the other day what super power I would want to have. I told him I wanted to be able to travel back and forth through time. This is something I've actually thought about before. Many people want the ability to fly. I've thought of the practicality of flying.

    Being able to fly doesn't mean you have the ability to withstand the high altitudes and speed. When I think about something being able to fly, I think of SuperMan kind of flying -- not floating. And well...SuperMan's body can withstand that speed and alititude because...he's a...super man. What if you get hit by a bird during mid flight? You would die!

    ...uh...okay...

    It's late...

    So what does a DVR have anything to do with time traveling? It has everything to do with time traveling!

    Often times, I'll record a show I plan to watch right away. However, instead of watching which it's record...or watching after the entire program is running...I'll start to watch during about half way through the recording. If the timing is correct, I'll finish the show just in the time when the program is over in "real time". However, I started the program later than everyone else watching it live. That extra 15...30...whatever minutes that I saved could be spent doing other things...like...watching more TV!

    I don't know. I just think the DVR is one of the greatest inventions ever. If you don't currently own a DVR, you should really think about getting one. It's such a time saver.

    TV watch can be very time consuming. You have to work around the TV and the network's schedule. But with a DVR, the TV works around YOUR schedule. Watch TV when you want to. Keep up with your favorite TV shows. Watch your favorite shows that play at the same time.

    Get a DVR and time travel with me.

    To make up for the weird entry, here are some cute baby photos:
