I ordered an upgrade for my DSL service. The old service was 1.5 megabits down, 320 megabits up. The new service will be 3 megabits down, and 512 megabits up, at $10 less per month. Still have 5 static IP addresses. /n

The new Star Trek movie is coming out next April, and already I'm concerned about it. There have been two trailers released, and there are some issues.

-The Enterprise is depicted as being constructed on the ground. It's well established that the original Constitution Class starships were constructed in Earth orbit spacedock.
-Kirk is shown driving an antique Corvette, yet in the episode "A Piece of the Action" he has a great deal of trouble operating an automobile.
-The first commander of the Enterprise is by long established tradition, not cannon, said to be Robert April. This film has no Robert April in it.
-They messed with the appearance of the Enterprise a bit too much.

The movie might still be good despite these errors and insults to tradition. /n

Kristiana and I are wrapping up our trip to Michigan. Our flight home is tomorrow at noon. We went trick or treating in a neighborhood near Mom and Dad's condo in E. Lansing, and had a great time. Kristiana was a night fairy. /n

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realised God doesn't work that way, so I stole
one and prayed for forgiveness.
