Kool-aid + Cable Modem = F#$% Me!
Monday, March 13, 2006
So I must apologize for the complete lack of updates for over a week. The abrupt postponement of Audio Visual Week was brought on by catastrophic Cherry Kool-Aid mishap.
I'm still not sure how a Lienekugel's Pint glass full of the modem killing kid's drink ended up sitting next to the wonderful piece of technology, but it certainly wasn't a good plan. In an attempt to fix some performance issues, I decided to rest the modem, which requires unplugging it and plugging it back in. While performing this intricate procedure I was attempting to avoid knocking over the Chris Farley, Tommy Boy Bobblehead and instead knocked over the modem and the Drink of Modem Death, heard a small pop, smelled cherry scented ozone and then stood there in disbelief for a good thirty seconds.
Luckily it has now been replaced!
I just today realized that this whole time I could have been phone posting. I suck.
So I owe all of you a few days worth of AV Week and also an update on some fun occurrences of the past week and a half! Today will be busy! Make sure to check back!

I thought you were just doing some serious, awe-inspiring, slacking.
Sorry about the modem.
