Q: Which is sadder?
A: The fact that I stayed home on a Saturday night and watched a nature documentary (the wonderful BBC documentary Planet Earth) OR
A: That the documentary made me burst into uncontrollable tears because the Amur Leopard is extremely endangered, and there are only about 40 left in the wild.
Caption: Baby leopards make me cry.

By way of introduction, Wired seem to think I have a problem.
Admittedly, I did make the choice to begin using the Internet to get access to tv shows before they air in Australia, so I wasn’t left months behind discussions in various online forums.
The choice to never delete anything and fill up hard drive after hard drive with information I may never access (sometimes, multiple copies of the same movie/show/album) was all me, though.
But here’s the fun part: I don’t plan to stop. Just like I don’t plan to stop buying books I may or may not ever read and DVDs I may or may not ever watch.
My name is Stuart and I am a packrat.
