Why I watch TWiT.tv

happydapyI don't have cable. I don't have my TV hooked up at all actually. I refuse to pay for stuff that I can find legally for free or for a very small fee. But I miss the randomness factor of tv. I miss not having to know exactly what I want to watch and instead being able to flip through channels to find something. I miss something always being there, not necessarily something I like, but something.
I've never been a techie, never been fantastic with the computers or the video games. I know just enough to get by and to be able to talk about it somewhat. I'm a geek when it comes to TV and books and interweby things, but not really how a computer or a phone or a camera works. But for some reason I always LOVED the TV show ScreenSavers on TechTV (back when it was Tech Tv). I hearted watching Kevin Rose turn an electric toothbrush into something crazy and dangerous. I hearted Leo Laporte's crazy cowboy outfit, etc.
TWiT.tv is "a podcast (though TWiT uses the term netcast) network run by technology broadcaster and author Leo Laporte." (wikipedia)
Basically all of these podcasts are streamed live and then rerun throughout the week. So I get the randomness and it is always on with something. Most of the time its interesting and funny and fun to watch. When it isn't I switch over to something else.
It provides that randomness that I love about tv, and its free. Yay free :)
