Cell Phone
Long story short:
I got a new phone, but my old plan still exists. For the next month or so, you’ll need to call 215.5812 to get me. I’ll get my old number back on April 26!

Ouch! The first sentence wasn’t really wrong, but the two aren’t mutually exclusive, either. Nintendo’s Wii absolutely aims at a different experience and market than other consoles, though.

This was kind of an interesting read! I’m guilty of using MAC filtering. I guess I failed to consider how easily I’ve spoofed MACs on my own way in to networks. I knew WPA is stronger than WEP, but my DS can’t handle WPA. This article (and some subsequent reading) has me reconsidering the switch regardless.

This, coupled with another article I read recently, exemplifies, at least in my mind, how over-prescribed we are becoming. I’m not saying some kids don’t benefit from the use of these drugs (at least in the short term), but I am saying that there seem to be a lot of parents and teachers who don’t remember what being a kid is like.
