Unplugged - Day 1

18 years of rising cable TV bills + Apple TV goes hi-def = Dale finally snaps

I returned my new TiVo, canceled my TiVo service, canceled Netflix, canceled Time Warner digital cable and bought a shiny new Apple TV. I'd planned to subscribe to The Daily Show, South Park, Heros, Lost, a bunch of Podcasts, movie rentals and more.

So what did I watch on Day 1 of my new unplugged life?



That's right ... it seems I got sucked into the digital brain damage that is YouTube. An hour later, after total shut down of all higher cognitive functions, I finally extracted myself gasping for air and wondering if I could get a job in data entry with what is left of my brain.

Now I know how Algernon felt?

More on this saga to come....

P.S. YouTube blown up to 1080p on a 50" Plasma TV looks like shit.

On LJ, it cuts off right before the flash plug-in. I assumed the answer was left as an exercise to the reader. My answer was one word:

Porn.

I was mostly right.
