TiVo May Fail

In an article on Slate, it is stated that TiVo will fail. By that, they mean the company, not the technology. One saving grace? License the technology to cable set top box manufacturers and/or providers. The line of reasoning behind this is that one box and one bill is perceptually better then two boxes and two bills. Not to mention the fact that it is insanely difficult to hook TiVo up in tandem with a cable box for the average consumer. I am waiting very patiently for my cable company (Charter) to offer the integrated Scientific Atlanta box. You should wait too.

There’s a specific kind of exhaustion that only people who eat lunch with colleagues out of obligation understand. It’s not tiredness from conversation. It’s tiredness from translating yourself into a version that fits a table you never chose to sit at.

Nobody tells you that pain doesn’t just change what you feel. It changes what you notice. After real loss, you start seeing grief in strangers’ faces at the grocery store, hearing exhaustion in your friend’s laugh, catching the micro-hesitation before someone says ‘I’m fine.’ Pain gave you a fluency you never asked for and can never unlearn
