We need policy to help cut a path for more competition, rather than protecting incumbents — a Bandwidth Competition Act of 2008, not bogus net neutrality. All takers should be allowed access to poles or underground conduits. This is where neutrality should be enforced, instead of being a choke point.

This is a great article - it hits at the heart of the problem with the telecommunications industry today: not enough competition, and government protection of current industry/business model practices.

I’m bored and fuxing around.

How do you like the black scheme? Props to the cool peeps over at Deziner Folio.

I mean, seriously - why the hell does it keep snowing?

I swear I’m going to move soon if this keeps up.

Sorry this isn’t more exciting. I’ll try to post some good quality stuff here soon.

Pretty impressed thus far - favorite track has got to be The Pretenders and The Running Free.

Sitting in O’Hare, waiting for my plane to arrive to take me to Las Vegas. Drinking a couple beers at a bar here, listening to some Penny Arcade podcasts and talking to a good friend via AIM.

It’s hard to tell what life has in store sometimes. I’m not one to say (in fact I’m the last person that would ever say) everything happens for a reason - but I think the chaos that is everyday life can be beautiful.

Cianara Sayonara to the rolling plains of Illinois - hello America’s playground. Well at least for a couple days.

Today I witnessed the end of something great.It pains me to even think about it, but it was a great adventure while it lasted and I will think upon those times and that person with warm thoughts in my heart.

Thank you, my friend - I will miss you.

I’ve decided (quite randomly) to join the National Novel Writing Month (or NanoWrimo). I’ve got some ideas about what I’ll be writing about, but right now everything is still under wraps.

I figure I might as well kill two birds with one stone and start doing NaBloPoMo (National Blog Post Month).

Woke up at 5:25 today, went to breakfast with a good friend that came over last night and we shot the shit over a hot cup of coffee before the sun even came out.

Have to say, that’s a great way to start your day. I feel fully charged and ready to go.

I feel like today, today I can take on the world.

Sitting at work - listening to the musical score from Bioshock.

Fantastic. Utterly amazing. Really brings you back to those wonderful moments in the game and those feelings of wonderment and awe. *Sniff* I misses you Bioshock! Why oh why did I have to beat you so quick? Why couldn’t you have been a little longer?

I guess it’s time I set it on hard and have another go.

Oh - and if you’re looking to score the score, you can snag it here.
