A trip to Pennsylvania

I finally got out of William and Mary this Semester for a short trip.

Visited Abby in Bucknell. Its a small University in Lewisburg, PA but nice

It was the first snow I've seen all season and it was definitely a welcome sight. We spent time with coffee movies, the mall, and some good ol' applebees. I'm a romantic.

I miss it. That's about the most important thing I can tell you.

Just a great weekend I suppose.

on the subject of Net Neutrality

More importantly it seems is Net "EQUALITY!"

Cross Country High Speed, that's a goal for the future that really depends on time. The current Internet however, should be the same speed for all sites. Granted, streaming a video that's an hour long will take longer than a .gif animation but really, when youtube loads at different speeds depending on my home computer (provided by cox) or the school laptop, I feel that there has been considerable gippage to coin a phrase.

Anyway, I'm not sure what AT&T lobbyists are accomplishing, but if they can monopolize our market I want to see some smart people on the public's side fighting to get us three generations caught up with Denmark, the Nokia N70 still costs $400 dollars stateside and Nokia is in the P series now I believe, I'm going to go ahead and call bullshit on that.

speaking of cell phones, why do we still lose service in places next to a freaking tower? just saying.
