Living in the future: Part 2A: Our Tivo got better

Last night, I realized there's even more to love about our Tivo. We can now download (or stream?) movies from Amazon (for a fee), and can get to a bunch of free programs, too.

The free programs we watched were from Mark Bittman (we've enjoyed his cookbooks, occasional television show, blog, and appearances on Spain: on the Road Again). We watched him make chocolate souffle last night. His style of cooking (minimalist, using good ingredients, and making tasty food) is good for me. (Tivo users can learn more here.)

We only watched one episode from Bittman -then moved on to Battlestar Galactica. We had 2 episodes on the Tivo at the start of the night - and added a third. We were recording the live episode while watching the prior ones, which by itself, is pretty amazing. I won't give any spoilers, but this season of BSG is really suspenseful. The entire series will be worth watching again someday, I think. (and hopefully by then, we'll be able to download episodes straight to our television)
