You can tell a lot about a person by the car they drive. And, I presume, by the television series they have set up to record on their DVR. I was cleaning up the DVR last night in anticipation of going away for the summer, and here, in chronological order of date of first entry, are the television series I had set to record. Of particular note are series like ER that have been off the air for a while, and series like Journeyman, Flash Forward and Dirty Sexy Money, that were short-lived.

I presume that a trained psychographic artists could, with that list in hand, tell my birth date, brand of shampoo and political tendencies.
Comments
I loved “The Unit.” It was a great combination of action, soap opera, and Mamet dialogue.
I cringe at such info about me being made available to others, but there’s nothing really biographical about. Our shopping options are vast, but they’re designed to capture as many customers as possible, not to distinguish them. Not to mention, to have a lot of choices of breakfast cereal is not the same thing as having a lot of choices.
