Friday Ups and Downs

Ups and downs of the week.
 Red Sox – Took it all. Who’da thunk it?
 DSL – What a pain the butt. Cable is a no-brainer to set up. DSL modems with built-in routers and firewalls are a royal pain. And a big thanks to SBC-Yahoo DSL for chasing all the plain vanilla DSL (read: simple) modems out of the stores. DSL will justifiably become extinct because it is such a pain. Good riddance.
 Chicago – Great city. So many really good restaurants all within walking distance of the river.
 Chicago – Is there ever a moment when you don’t hear sirens? They need to rename the place The Siren City.
 Verizon Wireless Data – Who needs the $10/day hotel wireless? Just hook the Verizon phone to the laptop and surf away. This post brought to you by Verizon Wireless.
 Boston Celtics – I’m not a big (or even small) basketball fan, but I did see the Celts kick royal butt tonight. Maybe they will have a great season. Is a championship in three major sports too much to ask in one year?
