Let Go Of My Eggo!

This ruins EVERYTHING.

MSNBC:

Kellogg Co. says there will be a nationwide shortage of its popular Eggo frozen waffles until next summer because of interruptions in production at two of the four plants that make them.

My absolute favorite weekend breakfast (and every day is a weekend, when you have no job) is two buttermilk Eggos with a touch of C.A.M.P. maple syrup, and a cup of Golden Monkey tea.

Don't make me try Aunt Jemima's !

Powerline Networking FTW!

After an epic struggle with Windows 7 and its lack of support for my laptop's outdated WiFi hardware, I went with powerline networking to keep my laptop connected to the world. And yesterday, we received our cute little Roku thing so we can, hopefully, stream movies from Netflix.

After some aggravation with the inputs on the stereo (there are only two HDMI inputs?!), and the universal remote (it can only control five devices?!) I got it all hooked up.

And the verdict?

No problems! Powerline networking is apparently fast enough to handle streaming movies! Joy!

Next problem: now that my laptop is using Windows 7, and as a result has no WiFi, I can no longer use it for traveling. Looks like I have to get a netbook anyway. Alas!
