Have I mentioned that my Tivo rocks? Coolest thing since sliced bread. Um. Cooler. Since the Palm Pilot? Something like that.
You can't understand how wonderful it is until you have one, though. Or see one in action.
You too can have a Tivo, for free! Now through October 31, Tivo is giving away 10 Tivos each day! Woohoo! They're the smaller Tivo, the 14 hour model, but they're still free. You do have to sign up for at least one month of the Tivo service (which'll cost you $9.95) if you win. (And I should warn you, a Tivo does you no good without the Tivo service. So if you wanna use your magic box, you'll need to pay $9.95 / month or $100 / year or $200 for a lifetime subscription. Lifetime being the life of your box, that is). (It's well worth it!)
What do you do? Why, you have to write a 250 word-or-less essay (or poem or song) that mentions Tivo features, is funny, and is creative/original. They select the 10 best of each day, you can only enter once though thru the whole contest.
So write something cool and get a free Tivo. Not a bad deal at all.
(And I suppose it's worth noting that these 14 hour Tivos are relatively easy to hack so you can add a bigger harddrive and have more space on 'em.
