A downside to the blogging culture

Posted on Wednesday, Jan 11, 2006

I discovered a problem shortly after I got Tivo.

I expected to be able to “pause” and rewind everything.

It still happens today – I will be in a movie, and miss something. I instinctively reach for my Tivo remote, and want to hit the “skip back” button to catch that last line. And then I realize I cannot.

Well, just now, I had a similar experience while reading a book. I’m reading The Know It All (a fantastic book about A. J. Jacobs’s attempt to read the entire encyclopedia), and was given pause when I realized I couldn’t “comment” in the book.

You know.

Like you would with a blog.

I’m really a nerd.
