ouch. shin splints are absolutely no fun. i wonder how much a good stationary bike costs.

uh oh, if the la times had to issue a correction about an article i linked to, i better pass it along.

the tivo feature i'd like to see: it should record five minutes before and after every show you've selected to record (season pass or one-shot), unless there's a conflict that prevents it from doing so, or there isn't space. if it needs the space, it should delete the extra time it recorded. when you start to watch a show that it has automatically recorded extra time at the beginning for, it should start at the scheduled start of the show, and let you rewind to get back to the real beginning if it started early. (i was reminded to share this excellent idea by this paean to the tivo).
