Life Without The Internet
Say it ain’t so. You can’t live without that great big series of tubes, can you?
Well, I’ve just spent the better part of two weeks without internet access at home, and I managed to make it through just fine. Basically my cable modem crapped out on me, then it took me a while to get Time Warner out to check the problem, then the cable guy laughed at the old modem they themselves had installed 7 years ago, wondering out loud how technology had passed me by. And a few days after that, when I was able to tear myself away from the office for the better part of another afternoon, the Spencer family was back online.
By then I’d been offline so long (one week probably – gasp!) that I fell out of the habit of plopping myself in front of the computer for an hour or two after the kids went to bed. So a few more days passed.
Regular blogging stopped. I had to catch up on a few more emails at work instead of at home. The reduced staring-at-the-screen time meant I definitely missed some stupid people doing stupid things on YouTube. I’ll probably never catch up on that now.
So I’m back now. Tapping out some random thoughts, some of which some day now will occasionally pertain to criminal defense. Not sure I’ll be better off with the cable modem access. But I’m not going to cancel it either.
