Just saw Rufus on this TED Talks video:

I mean, I'm not big into the cello or anything, but he makes it sound really good. Here's another one of his videos:

Hongyun and I are moving very soon and we've come to the conclusion that we no longer need TV. Here's one reason why:

And the nice thing is that there is a TON of amazing content on TED, public radio, public TV, and privately produced. Sure we'll still watch shows like Heroes and LOST, but we'll do so online. The only thing I'm really sad about is the demise of my Tivo. But alas, Tivo's time shifting was just a way station to our time-shifting, place-shifting, and even content-shifting future.

So the conclusion came about that we no longer need a TV since everything we want to see is or will soon be online.

We plan on keeping our TV around though. We need something to play video games on once in a while, you see. But I'm thinking of hooking up our home server to the TV so that we use the TV to watch TED and all of the other content out there instead of on our laptop. We'll see how successful that is...
