I'm typing this from the bathroom! December 29, 2004
Well, okay I'm not. I'm actually sitting on the living room floor, but I could be doing it from the bathroom or just about any other room in the house. My sister and brother-in-law gave me a wireless router for Christmas and I got it up and running last night. It was ridiculously easy to get working, but on the down side it has resulted in a new "No Internet at the dinner table" rule, which wasn't really ever an issue before.
I'm actually kind of surprised it's taken me this long to get a wireless network set up while so many other more technologically challenged individuals have been reaping the wireless rewards for so long. My dad, who is older than I am, already had one for crying out loud. But I love it, and I already have plans to expand my little wireless empire. I'll pick up another card for my old desktop machine, of course, but I also want to get a USB adapter so that I can wirelessly network my TiVo. Once this is done, I can easily control my season passes and recordings through a web interface from anywhere on the planet. I'll also be able to stream music and pictures from my upstairs computer to my television.
How have I survived this long without these wonders?

Glad you like it. Welcome to the world of even more internet addiction. I often eat lunch while surfing the web.

Last night I was sitting on the couch surfing while Ger watched television. Without looking up, I said, "Isn't this great? We're spending more time together!" I glanced up just in time to see her rolling her eyes.

Picture every morning, two people sitting in a living room downing diet coke and each engrossed in their laptop. You have just seen every morning at our house. When I travel now I am a bit taken aback that I cannot just get on the internet anywhere.
