Archaeology...

Some nerve...
Lego Stanley Cup nabbed in Vegas.

Is nothing sacred? A 6,000-brick replica of the Stanley Cup was reportedly swiped during a sports equipment convention in Las Vegas last week. The stolen hockey trophy copy is only one of two that exist, and was created to promote Lego's new NHL hockey kits. Worldnetdaily Link, Discuss (Thanks, Michael!)

It's all about the speed baby...
I just ran the Speed Test on my new dsl connection. The results: 1.2 mbps. Sweet! On the laptop with a wireless connection it scored a 974.2 kbps. Damn!

Thanks to Dane for pointing me to this link.

Back up to speed...
Well now. This is refreshing. We got the network up and running and we're on our new 1.5mbps ADSL connection.

NICE!

My wife really likes being able to surf from her laptop in the other room without wires. Makes it easy to watch the kids.
