Assassin of Television

Apparently I don't have time to post during midterms. Who would have thought? Anyways, I'll give myself a little pat on the back for not spending the entire day last tuesday writing on 'Why I don't wear a Poppy', which after a little research was fast becoming a masters thesis in itself. It may appear yet.

On to the topic. Who would have thought that an electrical engineer would turn against television? Not I. It would appear, however, that one has. Essentially, he's created a universal TV 'off' remote. It's a little doohicky that you put on your keychain that is programmed with over 1500 infra-red commands that turn televisions off - you just press the button and wait until it finds the appropriate command for the set that is the source of your ire, and presto, the television is dead. Instant peace of mind.

With shipping and tax and exchange rates taken into account it cost me about $40CAN and has yet to be shipped because the enterprising fellow who developed it did not anticipate several hundred thousand orders within a week of releasing them to the public. But I have faith - it will come. And oh what fun I will have.
