I’m a geek. That means my house is wired for Ethernet, my office is wired for Ethernet, and I have routers and computers and broadband everywhere.

I live in Florida, the lightning capital of the world.

We’ve been having hellacious electrical storms all week. The toll so far: One router, one PC, one iMac, one cable modem, and one hub, all destroyed.

Add to that the laptop I destroyed yesterday while trying to replace the hard drive, and it’s been an expensive fucking week. Grr.
