time and effort yes. At this time my collection of web services is basically an organism that feeds my mind. It took time and effort to start the feedback loop but now the loop provides more than I can consume.
IPTV is not part of my vocabulary. Bittorrent is a pain. I use netflix, ted, fora.tv, youtube, vimeo and whatever else percolates into my spectrum of social content aggregators, google reader, facebook.
re: small minority. Yesterday I was sitting in a dark old-timer bar in MT and heard two of the old salts telling some younger guys (mid-40s) about the wonder of Netflix. I am experiencing this more and more with people. Just a short matter of time.
just watching 'tv' in the historical definition is a massive waste of time. I have multiple lifetimes of content already tagged and queued. I have no time for bullshit old school network control and manipulation. I made my own network.
that's not very fun. I was thinking something more along the lines of "the rumors are true I am an alien and here is my spaceship". that would be earthshaking
anyone care to elaborate on this (from the bottom of the page under Public Lectures):
Wednesday, 30 June, at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco (some time in the afternoon) speaking (and making an Earthshaking Announcement) at TeX's 32nd Anniversary Celebration, on the final day of the TUG 2010 Conference
