About the Author
Raffi Krikorian is an unapologetic TiVo lover and digital plumber. If you look hard enough, you can usually find him putting together a hack for some random and stray idea that sidetracked him from the last project or stray idea. He freely admits that his serious television addiction is probably getting between him and his goal of finally graduating from MIT for the second time, although he claims it’s getting better.

In whatever time is left, he tends to his wasted bits on his weblog, http://www.bitwaste.com/wasted-bits/.
