Mark Pilgrim documents another reason I want Tivo in T.O.

The food court I’m sitting in right now is showing ESPN2’s coverage of college cheerleading competitions. Does anyone actually care who wins these things or are the execs at the sports nets winking at each other knowing they’ll hit an audience of crazed shut-ins looking for upskirt shots of young cheerleaders?

Sheesh, next thing you know, they’ll start airing Anna Kournikova tennis matches…

I get really envious when I read about all the benefits guys like Robert Scoble get from using their Tivo PVRs.

The only folks offering a PVR up here in Toronto are Bell ExpressVu and a dish just won’t work in my apartment set-up. You’d think Rogers Cable would offer some form of PVR. Sigh…

Fox is unwrapping a new one time only reality show in January called Joe Millionaire.

In this show, 20 eligible women vie for the love of a wealthy bachelor.

Wait a second, you say, isn’t that ABC’s The Bachelor?

Well, yes and no. You see the twist with this show is that the wealthy bachelor is really a struggling construction worker and the show is trying to show up the type of contestants who sign up for these shows as golddiggers.

I might actually tune into this one…

I spend a lot of time in the PATH, Toronto’s underground walkway that connects blocks and blocks of downtown buildings. I can’t believe the number of able-bodied people that can’t open their own doors, instead smashing, and wearing out, the buttons that open the doors for folks in wheelchairs. It bugs me.

Bachelor 2 results: Helene yes, Brooke no, who cares?

I can’t necessarily name all of James Coburn’s films, but I was always aware of his presence in the industry.

The Digital Hit team was in the press room when he won his Oscar for Affliction and when he came back to the press room, you could tell the guy was as pleased as punch.

He’ll be missed.

Why is Diana’s butler still getting so much attention from the mainstream press? That’s it. I just want to know WHY.

Our congrats to the Academy for choosing Steve Martin as the host of the 75th Annual Academy Awards®.

Martin did a great job hosting the awards in 2001 and we were actually able to get back to the hotel early that night.
