So last night I sat down in front of the TV and flicked on Tivo to be greeted with a screen message saying that Tivo had added some new features in the last update.  So I check it out and here’s what I found:

• Games from Yahoo! – There’s a marble game that’s kind of like Tetris (I’m already addicted) and another game loosely based on Scrabble.  How will I ever find time to watch TV?
• Streamed radio broadcasts from an unbelievable number of radio stations (I think there are podcasts too, but I’m not sure).  The stations are organized by genre and I’ve only had time to check out the "Alternative" folder but I found quite a few college stations there that should be fun to listen to.  My favorite was the station that had the tag line: "Maine’s ONLY Alternative Rock Station."  Who knew?
• Rocketboom!  Yup, you can subscribe to the groundbreaking V-Cast, or video podcast or whatever they’re calling it, and it is saved to your Tivo watch list to be viewed at your leisure.

Feels like Christmas in March.  Now if they will get that deal with Netflix going I’ll be a happy camper.  Speaking of Netflix the Greensboro News & Record has an inside look at Netflix’s Greensboro distribution facility.

**Update** Tivo does indeed have Podcasts, lots of them, and it even allows you to put in your own URLs if you don’t find one you like.  Over lunch, just for kicks, I listened to one from someone (no idea who) about cities coming back from disasters.  Fascinating.  At this point my Tivo-love knows no bounds.
