Thanks to the incompetence of Broadview Networks, I’m still without internet access at work. Not only did they screw up my phone lines, they also rewired the lines so it knocked out my DSL lines.

Well, I just finished watching Sarah Palin speak at the Republican National Convention. Since this is not a political blog, I won’t give my opinion here, but it was quite fascinating to hear her speak. That’s all I’ll say.

As I’m trying to watch the USA-Brazil gold medal women’s soccer game through NBCOlympics.com, but the video keeps buffering and it’s quite annoying. This is due to the speed of my DSL here at work. Not very fast compared to my Verizon Fios at home which is very fast. Just did it again. I just […]
