I know that they say that technology doubles every so many years, but from the seat in front of the monitor, the pace can seem a bit slow at times. Sometimes it even seems to take a step back wards. You get a new computer and then someone writes a piece of software that needs a faster one. You get the high speed INTERNET working and then the punks down the street come home from school and the whole net slows. You buy a new house and there is no high speed INTERNET available. Oh, yea...we bought a new house...well...it's new to us. More on that after we close. Every once in a while, something happens that shakes the very foundation of your world and once again you find yourself on your knees before the god of technology giving thanks for the genius of some geek is some darkened cubicle most likely near San Jose, California. (Can I write a run on sentence or what?) Well, last night I experienced just such an event. After only a few simple key strokes, through the power of silicon and the ether that is the INTERNET, I caused a large, one topping, Papa Johns pizza to arrive at our front door. That's right, without a single utterance of "Yes, I can hold", I put in motion, the culinary wheels of some of the best junk food west of the Pecos! Well, I think...Where are/is the Pecos anyway? You know, if 7-11 would get on board with this, and with a little help from the people at American Standard plumbing fixtures, I could conceivably never have to stand up again.
