Cellular Intarweb
We get no broadband internet out here. No cable, no dsl, no fios. John borrowed a Cingular wireless internet card from someone at work for us to try out. I’m sitting on the front porch right now. The card is indicating a signal strength of 2, and a speed of 3.6Mbps. [...]

I (heart) New York
Ok, maybe it’s more of a Love/Hate relationship.
