WiFi

Technology, Technology, everywhere..

When I connected to the wireless internet in my condo, I pick up at least 7 other signals. Mine is simply named "Mason" (so clever, right?!). Most people just name their secure connection their first name or condo number. Others are a bit more witty.

I love the idea of someone being funny while full well knowing that they'll never see the person who gets to enjoy their humor laugh. Point being- people name their wireless networks some pretty damn funny things. They're aware that it'll show up on someone's phone, someone's computer next door, or that a neighbor will see it in their list and try to jump onto their network. When I'm on the bus and try to open a web page on my iPhone it will ask if I want to connect to some of the various wireless networks that happen to be in that area, so that's always entertaining. Here's a few of the funny names of wireless networks I've seen lately either on my phone or laptop while in public:

"Where Are The Wires?!"
"XXX Live Nude Shower Cam"
"Get Off My Internet!"

I keep my eye out, now, for the funny ones, gives me a little chuckle.

G'night,

4 Stars

There is this Italian place that I really like in my area, great homemade pasta. I went the other night and had a deliciously huge meal. Too big to finish, in fact, so I brought the leftovers home and anxiously anticipated eating them for lunch the next afternoon (read: mid-morning).

When I was sitting on the couch consuming my pasta with veal meatballs I found a piece of plastic in my food. More specifically in my mouth after I put the food in there. I just removed the plastic and kept eating. That pasta was too damn good to stop eating over a little piece of plastic wrap. Besides, track record stands that the place rocks my world enough to not worry about one mistake.

It's funny; sometimes when you love something a great deal you're willing to overlook some of its shortcomings and continue on, knowing that as a whole the experience is too good to possibly be destroyed by a tiny ___(insert imperfection, piece of plastic, mistake, etc. here)______.

Something to think about and apply where necessary,
