Show notes--The Queue: Analemma explained!
The latest episode of The Queue is now live for your viewing pleasure. In this show, we premiere a new feature--the "Queue-stion" of the day! I'll ask your opinion on one of the topics we cover in the show--you just come to the blog and chime in!
Here is today's Queue-stion of the day:
What is the most influential tech product in your life?
For me, it's TiVo. I've had one since 2000, when it used to take an entire day to download all of the information for the program guide, and you couldn't use it until it was finished! (I was definitely late for work that day, sorry KNDO!) They've fixed that since, but the service is just life-changing. I haven't been tethered to a network schedule since! I won't lie--I did ditch my TiVo when I upgraded to an HDTV recently and went with a generic DVR. It's just not the same, and now that TiVo has launched a more affordable HD version, I'm 99.9 percent sure I'll get it soon.
Your turn--comment below!

Mini. But I didn't want to give the same reason as rich as to why DVR is so
great and convenient (Note: I don't need to wait till december to watch all of
season 3 of Lost.) But I will have to say that my most influential tech
product as to be (besides my Mac) ::drum roll:: my wireless N-router. It is
so nice to be able to walk all over my house, and have a strong internet
connection. Even when I am sitting on the patio, a good 100ft away from
the station, my signal is still strong. And now that I have both a laptop and
a Mac Mini, I can either sit in my room and enjoy a fantastic connection or I
can go outside and check my email and actually enjoy the few summer
months in Buffalo.

As for something on the Dark Side, it has to be nonstop connectivity--whether I want it or not. Beyond all of my previous cellphones, my BlackBerry has been perhaps TOO influential on my life.
Anyways, I have to say technology changing my live right now, iTunes/AppleTV.
I canceled my cable, and only getting inspiration from podcasts and vlogs. I love it!!
