Casey's Tumblelog

I'm just a regular schmo, in his late 20s, living on the east coast of the US.

Here you'll find random findings from around the Internet, with a few original items sprinkled in.

If you'd like, you can read about my journey into buying a Mac.

I am also embarking on a project to take one picture a day (or so) until I hit 365.

I can be contacted via e-mail via the username casey at this domain.

Nielsen TV Viewing Diary.

My wife and I were recently asked to be a part of the Nielsen TV Ratings.  We were given $30 cash, and asked to log our viewing habits for a week.

For the longest time, I had assumed that there was some sort of magical box they put between your cable box and your TV that automagically logged what you watched.  Oh no.  You have to write it down the old-fashioned way.

Having never known how the ratings were compiled, I thought others may find this interesting.
