Might be cheaper...

If I wasn't on the computer, or working on my pet projects, I'd be driving. By wasting time, I'm saving the planet!! :P

I've been mostly TV-free for about a decade now, but I'm slowly increasing my television intake with the rise of on-demand and ad-free programming from Hulu and the like.

I know, I was merely following up on his post as a segue.

Well, like I said, there is no place for actual TV service in the house I'm building, so we won't have it. We'll have DSL internet service, so we'll be able to watch movies on Icefilms or Hulu, etc. when the itch hits. Other than that, I'll probably be working outside for the light hours and on my days off (whenever I finally decide to go back to work) and thus, won't need TV. I'd often rather listen to classical music than watch TV anyway, or sit outside and listen to the wind.

The wind has interesting stories to tell, if you listen.

The Wife and I just finished watching Jeremy Seifert's Dive! and it reminded me of the discussion here about throwing away totally good food. Watch it if you can.
