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.
