You shouldn’t have to guess that Web Watch has “Disney” coded as a search term on one of our TiVos, in order to record the latest television program about any of the Disney-theme parks.

With it, TiVo automatically records anything and everything that it thinks we might be interested in. We’ve seen any number of Food Network-related programming, and practically every airing of The History Channel’s MODERN MARVELS that seems to air about once every two weeks.

And that episode where Full House visits Walt Disney World? Yup – seen that more times than we care to, thanks to TiVo.

Haunted House Halloween Handbook

Web Watch loves Halloween – more for the experience of visiting what could be used as a local movie set at elaborate haunted house attractions rather than the handing out of candy to neighborhood brats. Because those creative individuals who spend all year working on an immersive Halloween experience really deserve kudos for the effort they put into spending a month scaring the hell out of all their guests. One question that Web Watch wanted to figure out the answer to was HOW MUCH MONEY DO HAUNTED HOUSE ATTRACTIONS MAKE EACH YEAR? Is it a profitable business? Using some rough math, Web Watch can guess that the following is a reasonable estimate on haunted house earnings:

I Need Coffee!

In honor of NATIONAL COFFEE DAY on September 29th, Dunkin’ Donuts and CareerBuilder teamed up to identify the PROFESSIONS THAT REQUIRE THE MOST COFFEE.

They asked over 3,600 office workers about their coffee-drinking habits, and found that 32% of office workers require a cup of coffee to get through the workday. 43% said that they are less productive without their morning Joe. Web Watch figures this is why the majority of offices offer their staff free coffee — it’s a small cost to pay for happy workers.
