I think that TiVo probably “wastes” money on a lot of marketing expenses, yet they still seem to get an awful lot of bang for their buck on a lot of their promotions. There are probably a lot of people who would love to take on Matt’s role for free, but I’m glad that they selected him. I’m not sure why, but I found his first entry to be positively histerical.
