I was at the supermarket today and while looking for Diet Vanilla Coke, I saw this:
Of course I had to buy it. After chilling for a few hours and once the kids had gone to bed, I cracked it open.
Sure enough, it tastes exactly like Red Vines licorice. Exactly.
Admit it, you wish you had some.
On the wireless front, I need to make a correction. ‘tmobile’ is not Boingo. Here are the differences:
Boingo is a company offering wireless access in hotels, airports, and cafes. Boingo is led by Sky Dayton, founder of Earthlink. Access costs $8 for a day, $25 for 10 days of the month, and $75 for unlimited access per month.
T-Mobile Hotspot is a company offering wireless access in Starbucks and airports. T-Mobile is the combination of Voicestream and Deutche Telecom. Access costs $3 plus 25¢/minute, $30/month unlimited local access, $50/month unlimited national access.
Make sense?
BTW, here’s a picture of my antenna in the car window as I wardrive:
On another turbo-geek note, I broke down and went with the guys from work to Best Buy after lunch. I bought both Episode II (Widescreen) and Lord of the RIngs (Extended Edition). I know, I’m weak. But I have a feeble excuse… Michele had never seen Episode II and she is watching it now, as I type for the first time.
Long day. Tomorrow is longer. Time to rest.

Did you get the 4 DVD set, or the 5 DVD set with the bookends? I went for the bookend set because my Geek-cred needed a boost.
I put Clones on my gift list because I can’t justify buying all this stuff for myself so close to the holidays… 😛
I ‘only’ went for the 4 DVD set.
The 5 DVD set was widely viewed by the assembled geeks with me as ‘too much’.
Personally, I don’t know what I’d do with bookends anyways…
The weird thing is that red licorice *ain’t licorice*!
I have a (ahem) lot of dvds… I think I’ll use the bookends to geekily prop up a few of them.

BTW Michael, you should have access to the double secret strat section of the AK site now.
One more distinction between tmobile and boingo. Boingo doesn’t actually control any hotspots themselves, they simply manage code that sits on top of many hotspots that allows you to use universal login to connect. Actually, it is very much the Earthlink model, only wireless. TMobile, as I understand it, actually controls the network they use to provide the wireless access. In a sense, one is an ISP and the other contracts with ISPs to provide service. Theoretically, anyone with a 802.11 set up at home could sign up with Boingo to be a provider – you could not do that with TMobile.
i not sure what a hotspot is, but am very interested in finding one, or two.
