Too Much Video Capability ?
« on: March 22, 2013, 11:25:28 PM »
You know you have too much video capability (and too much interest in video dramas) when you can do the following:

1) Record several hours of "flea market flip" on TIVO #1 while....

2) Recording an episode of "Touch" on TIVO #2 while....

3) Watching episode #1  of "Touch" on Netflix

All three things happening at the same time...and typing this note...that's multitasking (with a lot of electronic help).

I have to say I'm getting more use out of my Netflix streaming account than I am out of the Disc account though.
A year or so ago they lost their contract with STARZ who have a huge library of old and new films. Nflix didn't want to pay the tab. They lost a lot of customers over that.

Anyway, I've become addicted to EPISODIC TV watching...if you start something late (like last years first 12 episodes of "Touch") you can have a mini-marathon over a few days time!

Yeah, you got to love it. I'm working on auction lists listening to Pandora from on my wireless laptop while wile my daughter is watching The Lorax that is being streamed over wi-fi to the 3d blu ray via NetFlix while my wife (who recently discovered that she loves Facebook) searches for long lost friends on her iPad. Next thing you know they'll have some streaming video device for your pets. The day I see an animal using a computer, I'm moving into the forest.

I download complete TV series and copy complete seasons onto a single flash drive. I can then plug the flash drive into my sound system and kick back and watch shows from yesteryear. Right now I'm in season 6 out of 9 of Night Court.

I used to do that too with South Park, UFC and the old school Pride fights. Now I'm lucky to be able to watch 3 hours of TV a week.

Go to your Houston zoo.  They have the chimps play with iPads for entertainment and developing Apps for them to communicate better with staff......


So?   You thinking of a cabin or are you a Yurt kind a guy?

That's cool.
How about the Orangutans in Milwaukee using Skype?

Or these gorillas in the UK?

You should look into Yurts.    Pretty cool.    I'm sure your wife will love you for this change in life style.
Peace.  One with nature.   No room for storage unit finds.
