Internet
I am getting frustrated with the internet. At home I have dial-up and we get about 40.0 kbps. At work I have DSL at about 150 kbps. At Texas A&M I get about 1.1 Mbps. That’s a wide range. Why can’t the U.S. have universal high-speed internet, at a minimum of 300 kbps. That would be really good. Higher speeds could also be purchased but that would be a good minimum. I’m so adjusted to broadband when I get home that I can’t even use dial-up. I get so impatient. There are so many things that I can’t do with dial-up. Make internet a utility and universalize it!
Grades
KINE 199-093 Beginning Bowling - I made an A.
MATH 151-504 Engineering Calculus - A
PHYS 201-512 College Physics - A
POLS 207-503 State & Local Government - A
The grades are official! I still have a 4.0! That is such a relief. I was worried about Calculus.
Variety
I like variety and a change in environment. I have not been able to easily find widescreen desktop images, but just recently I found two websites that have a lot of really good ones. The first is mandolux.com. The archive goes back to 2002 and I really like a lot of the large desktops. The artist/photographer is very talented. Another widescreen desktop site I found was InterfaceLIFT.com. It was arranged in an easy to browser and download fashion. I get quite bored with the same desktop and visual style after a while. It was nice to find sites that understood the widescreen audience. Variety is the spice of life.
