I’m sitting at the bowling alley, watching analysis of the last curling match, cursing the slow and unreliable connection I get here. Sure, before they had WiFi here I had to go much farther to get the sweet river of 1′s and 0′s, and I’ve been putting up without Internet at home for a year now. So what’s changed?
What’s different is that now I almost have Internet at home. It was supposed to be 5-10 business days, and yesterday was day 10. Arrgh! I have the hardware, and when I hook it up it connects successfully to the world outside (at a rate faster than what I’m paying for). All I need is my account ID and password and I’m back in the broadband, baby!
But not yet. In the words of Tom Petty, “the waiting is the hardest part.”
Did the CZ send the right hockey team? That aren’t doing that well in the olympics.
You mean Tom Petty?
Yeah, that guy.
