stone age

thanks to verizon dsl, which disappeared for a solid two weeks and then returned in half-usable form, the pandora experiment is officially on hold until february.

what have i learned so far? i have learned that there's a disconnect between the importance placed on communication in the eyes of those who propose moving data to the cloud and in the decisions of those who provide actual internet service. i've decided that until such time as major internet outages become nightly news - like power outages - the cloud may not have enough lift to keep us afloat. i've learned that having unreliable internet speed may not leave you in the stone age, but it certainly separates you from the things you want to do on a daily basis.
