Robin and I bought ourselves a new car over the weekend: A 2006 Scion xB. It’s boxy, white and cute.
The thing we like the most is the amount of space present in the car. It’s huge inside. The backseat has enough space to easily cross your legs without touching the seat in front. I could almost wear a top-hat in the car!
As I mentioned before, I have been having trouble with Speakeasy. I had already researched other competitors and was contemplating changing to someone else. I would have missed the technical competency of Speakeasy support but I could live with the people who follow scripts.
Fortunately, I was called by Prince (name changed to protect the innocent); a manager for Speakeasy. He fixed everything; he waived all costs (about $300) which includes the modem. He agreed that paying for sub-par service wasn’t reasonable. After all, I could have stayed with Verizon for that (zing!).
[UPDATE: I have been made happy. Yay!]
Do ISPs just dislike me? I can’t think why; I do virtually nothing outrageous. I normally don’t rack up much, if any, support costs. What isn’t there to like?

Hee-hee. You can look up people’s XBox 360 avatars on the net. Neat!
Uber geek-star Wil Wheaton blogged about the magnitude of a “duh” moment he had recently. Warning: avoid if don’t want spoilers for the D&D campaign “Keep on the Shadowfell”. My post doesn’t have any spoilers, though.
Go read Wil’s post so I can properly compare magnitudes with Mr. Wheaton. I’ll wait.
