Motel 6 beats Starbucks!
I made it to Berkeley, but I have no Internet at home, so here I am in a Starbucks (where I don't have time to be, much less blog). Well, I have so-called "dialup Internet access" for traveling, but really! 21.6 kbps? That's the rate I get with every access number on their stupid list, and it isn't fast enough to check email, much less blog. If all goes well, I might get functional DSL service tomorrow, and I hope I do, because I'm just swamped with work, and cannot take time to get in the car, drive to Starbucks, and blog while I'm supposed to be doing countless other things. (At least on the road I had the convenience of waking up each day in a Motel 6, where you get Wifi plus privacy. For blogging, I recommend Motel 6 over Starbucks. It's hard to think in a Starbucks.) Bandwidth. Things are getting to the point where I (and I suspect a lot of other people) take it for granted. Lose bandwidth, and you lose the ability to communicate. posted by Eric on 11.16.08 at 09:01 AM

It is difficult to think in a Starbucks, isn't it? All the earnest, helpful, pasty-white, zombie-brained Obama youth sending those overlapping negative waves overwhelm independent thought in all but the very strongest anarchists.

Alas! Poor Eric. Since you were last here, Berkeley has lost its 2 most newsworthy attractions, the campus tree sitters (the university cut down the trees) and the Code Pink witches. They used to place spells on people entering the Marine recruiting office downtown. They cast a spell on me because I walked down the sidewalk past the Marine office. The witches are gone now, so I no longer fear turning into a frog.
