blue box

Yes, to you it may just be a blue box, but to me it is so much more... it is my life's blood! This blue box connects me to the internet at approximately 4Mb/s If you haven't guessed it, the cable guys came today and put in our internet; the "free dsl" that comes with the rent is shared with EVERYONE in this complex and is slower than molasses in sub zero temperatures. So now we have comcast cable :)

Plus I fixed my old cell phone! I dropped it in water quite a while ago, and just recently ordered a screwdriver bit to take it apart and fix it. It was a learning experience. To see what I mean, look at these pictures. I found a helpful forum on the sprint users site with lots of cool people. Anyway, fun stuff.

And I have no desire whatsoever to do calculus tonight. I got a 3 out of 15 on my last assignment, and it took me several hours to do. That teacher is disheartening. Plus he looks JUST like the dad off of That '70s Show. Now that I have a cell phone camera again, I'm going to take a picture. It's scary.

I checked out the video, it's pretty slick. Not much unexpected: huge solid state memory chip, tiny 14 hour battery, tiny color screen. Technology is crazy these days...

yeah it is! I am still suprised how small things can get! I found this link today. Its also a nano article and like the other one they take it appart. However this one also includes the features that it has and a Stress Test (the most important part in my eyes)[url]
