the idea of lounging at barns & nobel after work while blogging and eating a triple chocolate chunk cookie seemed delightful at first.

but, the crowd is massive and the line is utterly long, and all of a sudden, I'm no longer interested.

so, i come home. my wife and kids aren't here, yet. so, i come home to a quiet house.

i like that much better than the scene at the book store.

one wouldn't think it, but today could be the end of the internet as we know it. at least, that's what many advocates for net neutrality are saying today. the fcc voted on the specifics of net neutrality today. and, it appears the devil is found in the details. the fcc is being accused by various groups of only feigning support for true net neutrality, while all the while, taking sides with big businesses like comcast, at&t, and verizon.

i hope the clarion call from the internet doomsday proponents is a false alarm.

but if it isn't-- you can kiss your netflix and skype goodbye.

and, pucker up your lips for more kissing-- because now we'll be heading downhill. kiss your liberty one last time before we make our descent.
