The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

FYI, for those who care, there is now free Wi-Fi throughout downtown Salt Lake City, courtesy of X-Mission. Whose owner is challenging Orrin Hatch for the senate, so that's all right.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I figured out what the problem was. The Customize Google extension for Firefox was fucking with the personal homepage. Once I got rid of that extension, it is all good.

Our wings are not tired

So I ended up returning the Harmony 880 remote. It was very cool and did what it was supposed to, but it didn't like dealing with my Plasma TV. I'm pretty sure the issue is with the TV and not the remote, but for the amount of money involved in one of those remotes I either want it to work flawlessly or I just won't bother.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have a question for Razr people of the bluetooth persuasion -- what sort of battery life do you get with Bluetooth on all the time? How often do you charge, and what sort of use are you putting the phone to in that scenario?

ita, do you want me to ask G. for you? He's had his for a while

Please do! I like the phone, but I'm a heavy Bluetooth user, and I'm not going to be charging more than once a day, I don't think.
