Technology sucks, and is great at the same time
So I'm writing this from the Pooh Tree, an art landmark on my street -- it's basically Pooh's house, built into a dead tree stump with a sitting bench inside it. I'm sitting in the bench and enjoying some neighbor's open wireless network.

The net at me house is down because out firewall's hard rive died finally. Not something I can fix, and corwin's not back from Baitcon yet. Yeah, our network is held together with like 10-12 year old hardware and chewing gum and all I'm qualified to do is chew the gum.

So it's a beautiful evening, I have about an hour of battery power, and I'm sitting in the pooh tree listening to my portable XM radio and blogging, because the moment I go back into the house with no network I will suffer withdrawal symptoms. This after being essentially without network all weekend with my dead laptop in Cleveland. (I'm on the backup laptop now...)

Hopefully the new macbook will arrive tomorrow! (Fedex says its on the way...) And hopefully there will be network again! Until then, thanks Pooh.
