Wi-Fi should be free

I went to my son’s hockey practice tonight and tried to access the internet, because the logo on the door says “We have W-Fi provided by Net Near You” Of course I didn’t even think I would have to pay for it. Wrong! It was pay per use for $4.99 for one hour. I actually considered it, but didn’t need it that bad. But what gives on the convenience store mentality here? Why does it have to be “Hey if someone wants it, they will pay through the nose for it”

A new era of sorts.

I ditched my maiblocks account today. With the uncertainty of the company since AOL purchased the mail system and the annual price of 24.95, I figured I could do it on my own with my own servers that I am already paying for. More >

Say whatever you want… when your dead!

From ESPN.com, a canadian hockey fan (redundant?) died at the age of 84 and wanted one more year of hockey before he went to the great rink in the sky. Well we all know that didn’t happen. So in his last words, he rips a few shots at the “negotiators” for lack of a better term and calls for the “the Great One” to step in as president of the NHL. This may start a new trend, I mean can you be sued after you’re dead? Imagine, statements can be made in obituaries and nothing can be done about it (consult your attorney prior to doing this)…

The New year

It is now 2005 and I still am sticking to the original resolution I made years ago, which is to not make any more resolutions on New Years. The only problem with my resolution is that it is the new years and you can’t help but think about all the things you need to do right and since it is a new year why not start now? I gues I need to re-think my old thoughts…
