Second-hand blather

There are two places where I feel assaulted by the television: when I'm at an airport and when I'm waiting for my car at the dealership. These situations share several characteristics, including that I am trapped, that I have brought things to do, and that few if any of the people around me are listening to the perpetual TV blaring.

Well, I'm not the only one who feels overwhelmed. Now there's a keychain-sized universal remote called TV-B-Gone (story here) that allows you to turn off any TV, anytime, anywhere. You might be applauded or attacked, but at least you have some say in the matter.

This is going on my Christmas wish-list for sure!
