A Lesson in Geek Priorities

Paul emailed work Wednesday morning to say that he was going to be out for a few hours that morning because:

1. He was ill
2. The truck was stolen (so we thought at that point)
3. TiVo died.

Many deeply heartfelt email condolenses arrived quickly from Paul’s co-workers. They lamented the (temporary) loss of TiVo, and commented how horrible it was to be sick, but to be sick without TiVo was incredibly tragic.

No one mentioned the car.
