Well, my new modem has been delivered. My "old" (I'd only had DSL a matter of months) DSL modem died suddenly, and I'd been without home internet access for the better part of two weeks, during which time I was dependent on the public internet terminals at the Culver City Library and at Kinko's ( Read more... )

With my new DSL modem, I just got to see this promotional video for the old toy. Dude! That is the coolest toy commercial I've ever seen ( Read more... )
