Disconnected

The venerable DSL modem that has been used for 6-7 years, maybe longer, has finally ceased to function. Therefore my home has been disconnected from the Aether since late Tuesday evening. I have been taking it surprisingly well considering I always have a portal to the Intarweb open next to my customary place of butt parkage. I have entertained myself with various DVDs I haven't had a chance to watch, and by reading my current book. I take it as a further sign that I truly am not addicted to it. I have had no convulsions or crazed thoughts. Though I must admit I do spend all of my working hours with a rather speedy connection to it as well. However, work time use of the connection to infinite knowledge and amusement always seems different than home use. Anyway, AT&T is supposed to be sending me a new entryway to the information thoroughfare either today or tomorrow. it is more complicated then what I need, so I hope it works without much trouble. I have things that I would like to accomplish using it this weekend.

But I don’t smell that sweet.

I like odd bits of information and the internet definitely gives that to you. A friend of mine pointed me to a site that provides statistics about the occurrence of your name. Mine turned out to be a little rarer than hers.

HowManyOfMe.com

There are: 11 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

That’s kind of neat. Interestingly I know of one person on the Vietnam memorial that has my name, sans middle initial.

Motivate This

A friend found a site that allows you to make your own motivational posters. I had to make one, and now I’m awaiting some from some of my other friends.

So go out there and make the world a poster.
