Weekend update: Other things found last week:


Spending a day without satellite TV, and it's very strange not to be able to consult Headline News or the Weather Channel to see what's going on. No Olympics, either, of course.
Although I know I can get all the news I want from the Internet, that's not my first choice even now. It's still static...or at least it is when all you've got is dialup.
At least the newspaper came today.
