What would cause my ip address to think I'm in Canada?
IP geolocation is a bit inexact. There could incorrect data in the database.
traceroute might tell you some interesting stuff.
Who does the internet think manages your IP address?
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Interesting thing tonight. I checked a couple different places. I got:
- Freemont, CA (wrong)
- Pomona, CA (closer, but wrong)
- Los Angeles (well, county, yes, city, no)
- Long Beach, CA (practically right, my lil city is a pimple in the middle of Long Beach)
- Unavailable
- and the ahem site still says Canada
- Speedtest by Ookla correctly identifies Frontier Communications, but says location is Los Angeles.
Trace route said Frontier in Pomona.

I haven't heard much about Apple's recent event, yesterday. That doesn't seem like a good sign that they did anything very interesting.

Spoken just like someone who still uses function keys, and has more than one kind of port on his computer.
I also bet you still use a land-line telephone, watch VHS tapes, and mount Clovis points on your spears, rather than the obviously superior Folsom point.

Yeah, my personal laptop is so ancient that it has an optical drive.

Clovis points, I assume, have something to do with bunnies.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
They're the fangs.

Of course!

Hah, never heard of Clovis points. But I was anxiously awaiting the Apple event. And not sure now what I want to do...my current laptop is five years old. It's definitely getting up there. But do I want any of the new ones? Especially since they're more expensive than I anticipated? Do I get one of the older ones now that they're going to be on sale, or will it seem old too quick? ...I mean, now I have no need for Thunderbolt ports and DO need USB ones...but four years from now? I see no need for some weird toolbar at the top of the keyboard. But it does have more ports/is faster, also?
(This laptop DOES have a CD/DVD drive. I don't think I've used it in a couple years?)
