I’m posting from the seventh circle of Hell. I’ve hacked into Satan’s WiFi (he only uses WEP, the silly devil) using a pitchfork, a soiled pair of pants, and one of the wire brushes the demons use to scour our genitals.

I’m posting this, right now, from my iPhone, as I’m standing next to my computer, and playing my Wii.

I’m doing the same, actually. The next trick will be getting the VOIP working so I can use it as a phone.

But Treos are designed for this sort of thing. Let’s find _weird_ stuff to do it on.

I’m gonna go see if I can get the modem stack running on the Amiga.

Hey, do you think Sears has those web-enabled fridges working at the store?
