It CAN Be Done

Hi, my name is Brian and I’m a netaholic.

“Hi Brian!”

Thanks to a pretty severe storm with lots and lots of lightning yesterday, I went without internet service for almost a full twenty-four hours. A strike hit so close to our house while we were eating dinner that it made our phones ring!

But, after many attempts to diagnose my computer problem, and $75 later for a new cable modem thanks to my previous one getting zapped by the lightning, we are back in the game and up and running, and I have my fix for the day.

My nervous twitches from not having access to the WWW are almost gone.

So, regardless of how much you think you need the internet, you can actually survive a day without email and Google Reader and Drudge and Weather Underground…though I would never recommend a voluntary stoppage in service!
