Dropped Calls

FCC Helps Cellphone Providers Piss On Us
Let’s face it: the cellular service providers all suck. Which one has the most dropped calls? It’s just a matter of which provider sucks less, and now we find out the United States government is helping these weasels. Thanks to the FCC, we’ll never know for sure which cellphone provider tops the all-time suckage list. That’s because even though the FCC has been collecting information about cellular network outages since 2004, the federal agency is keeping that information secret, even after TV news network MSNBC filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the outage data.

Monday Morning Snow

On Saturday it was still much too warm – I walked around town in a shirt – and now it started snowing. We are supposed to get 4-8 inches today/tonight.

PS: No storm in the evening, no snow and the little bit from the morning quickly melted. Went to a friend’s house where we watched Dustin Brunson’s Kham/Tibet slideshow of about 450 photos. The slideshow was utterly amazing and beautiful. Suggested he should get a Flickr account to let more people see his photographs. Will keep you posted.
