Time Shift Your Life
How do you time shift your life? First it was the DVR (or TiVO). It’s nice to be able to watch a TV show when you want to, especially when they schedule two shows you love on the same day and same time. We started using a DVR in our house about 4 year ago.
And though, I have resisted getting an iPod, I did buy a cheap little MP3 player. Ya know, when you work in radio, it’s kind of easy to have access to music, so my little 2GB MP3 player was filling up. For Christmas, we bought my son one of the new 80GB Zune players and I was pretty impressed with it, so I started looking around for one for myself. But being really frugal (or cheap, according to my wife)…I was searching for deal. I finally found a 30GB refurbished one on eBay for about $100.
At first, it was just an MP3 player, but then I started downloading some podcasts (audio and video - mostly news shows like Meet The Press, Fox News Sunday, etc) and I have found that it’s really great. Now, not only can I watch some of my favorite shows when I want, but even WHERE. I’m not sure how Tim Russert or Chris Wallace would feel knowing that I watch them while I’m in the bathroom, but then again, I guess they don’t have to know.
So how do you time shift your life? Are there any other tools that you use to do the things you want to do, WHEN YOU want to do them? I’d love to know and tips and tricks you may have.
You know, this internet thing might catch on.
