My New Addiction

Greetings Faithful Readers...

Well, I was going to post about the CES keynote by Mr. Gates...but it was pretty lame. So I'm not going to. Instead I have to confess something to you all..I'm addicted.

What is it you might ask? Just a little show called "Cash Cab". It's on the Discovery Channel. Here's the premise...a guy drives around in a van/cab that looks like all the others in New York City. When people get in...they tell the driver where they are headed and then it happens...the ceiling starts to flash lights and the bells ring...they're in the CASH CAB!!! The driver asks the passengers questions for money until they reach their destination. If they miss three they are ejected from the cab on the spot. They are allowed to call someone to help them with a question or pull over to the side of the road to ask a stranger. At the end of the ride they have the opportunity to double their money by answering a video clue. If they get that one right...they leave with a bunch of dough...if not...nothing at all.

You'll have to see it...it's a lot of fun. I TiVo the show because it comes on each morning from 10-11.

If I'm ever in New York...I'm going to find that cab...and win me some dough-re-me.

I love that show. If I ever go to NYC Im only ever going to ride in mini-van cabs to better my chances of "stubling" into the Cash Cab. When I play at home though, Im not really good. Some of their questions are hard. But Im sure their not hard for the iPastor.
