Because I'm a bit of a geek (a lot of a geek?) I needed to make sure that my DVR was set up correctly to get the shows I wanted to watch this season. The DVR doesn't allow for the recording of more than two shows at a time so some shows need to be sacrified. Maybe this will change when the Comcast/Tivo deal becomes available in my area. Here's the little chart I put together.

I was in the comic book store today and noticed cover of Wizard Magazine #210. It has a picture of President Obama in Superman-esque garb drawn by Alex Ross with the heading "A comic fan storms the White House". Looking at that cover brought home the sense of empowerment that goes with the election of the new president. Certainly not as important if I were a person of color, but just as Clinton's white house saw my parent's generation move into power, Obama is my generation and he serves as a symbol of all that comes with that.
