Get in tha choppah.

Friends!

After a week without internet due to a fiscal fubar, I have returned! It continually amazes me how much I miss the internet when it is gone, how much of my mental processing is attached to that series of tubes. Something happens during the day, I store it away to research later. I hear breaking news, I want to share it. I take an awesome picture, I want to show it. Nope!

I've read a lot of scifi stories about the human brain connected to computers and networks and processors and in almost every one of them, the humans turn into drooling zombies when they have to go back to solely using their biological intelligence. I was always skeptical of such descriptions, but being away from the internet for a week has changed my mind.

So beware, because I have a week's worth of news and photos to get you caught up on.
