Microsoft buys Teleo. Watch out Skype!
Voice over IP looks to be a window to the future. In and of itself it’s not that impressive. But it is one step closer to all of your communications needs can be bundled into one package. No phone company, no cable company, all one.
As bandwidth is increased to households. The day isn’t far off that through one connection, your TV, your internet, your telephone, everything through one cable. One company, one bill. Will that company be Microsoft?
no wi-fi?

Hello brother! How is everything going? All is ok here. Mom is letting me use her blogger name. She told me to ask you for an invite. I didn’t know you had to invite people to your secret blog club! Oooo! :o)
Everything is going well here. Had a Dr. appointment yesterday for the baby. They were going to start letting me have every other week appointments instead of every week, but there were some problems this week. After next weeks appointment I get to go to Wichita to another Dr. there. Woo!
Well, I had better get back to work. We are short handed today. Talk to you later.

I don’t have to go to the bank to get cash anymore! :)
I know it sounds kinda korny, but I do not have to go to the bank to get money anymore. That’s right, I got my atm card (since they won’t let me have a check card) and my awesomely cool checks.
Yup, that’s right, they’re K-Sate checks! Notice the Wildcat logos on the left and right (they’re kinda hard to see, but they’re there!). I love ’em, I love ’em, I love ’em!
As you all know (or at least some of you), I am a K-Stater and I love it! I live it, breathe it, and will die for it! Hehe. K-State Football here I come! (Saturday, Sept. 3; kick-off @ 1:50pm against Florida International)
unrestricted
YES!!! this is a good day friday of this week im getting internet !! they approved it and so ill have unrestricted access once again ….oh yes !!!
Let the Games Begin
I’m a happy man. For one, it’s almost football season. But even better, it’s looking like I might be able to sit in on all the K-State home games this year.
The radio station is going to be hosting tailgate parties from KSU Stadium this year and all the staff gets tickets to the games. Boo yea! My record for attending games in one season is… well one. Hopefully I can make that six this season!

Well the cable “technician” has been over. The equipment has been installed. The verdict? “It just won’t work.”
Apparently the cable wiring in our apartment was a prototype coax used back in the Mesozoic Era and simply won’t transmit the signal from the cable box 20 feet away. Now no one can decide who’s responsible for fixing said cable and how/what should be fixed. I’ve talked to the landlord twice and the cable company twice (if only they’d talk to each other) to no avail.
So right now we have one jack in the place that’s functional. We can either watch cable TV, or have the internet. But not both. Use a splitter you say? Nope, then they both don’t work. Buy an amplifier you say? Works for the TV, but not for the internet. Which would be great if we wanted to run a 25 foot cable across the carpet from the bedroom to the living room.
So for now I’m up a creek with out a paddle paying for a service I can only halfway use. Tomorrow I’ll bitch more and see if it does any good.
freaky stuff

Last night Wendy got up (about 1 am) to go to the bathroom. As she was walking down the stairs she slipped and sprain her ankle (we have alot of that going around 😛 ) But anyway she was in a lot of pain, etc.
About an hour later, A friend called me (about 230) and asked if she was ok, because he had a really bad feeling something happened to her, which woke him up from his slumber.
Strange stuff.
Google Talk

Back Online
Wednesday afternoon should be the day we finally get the ol’ internet hooked back up. Going with cable this time instead of DSL. Should be a little more accomidating for the servers and such.
It’ll be nice to have it again. And I can go back to wasting all my free time.
