Dreamcast

“It’s been 10 years since 9/9/1999, when the Dreamcast launched on American shores. The hardware was ahead of its time

[From Slashdot Games Story | Sega Dreamcast Turns 10]

Wow its hard to believe 10 years ago today I first purchased a Dreamcast. I still have fond memories of playing Virtua Tennis with JonahPhilippoussis FTW! Its too bad I parted with mine a few years ago for credit towards purchasing my Wii.

Rural?

Apparently Verizon thinks Beaverton, OR is rural.

As one of the 110,000 effected FiOS Internet/TV customers I’m curious (and afraid) to how Frontier will handle the transition. Sadly it will probably be another ankle grab similar to how DirecTV handled me after Telocity self-destructed. The shame is that I’m really happy with both my current video & data services – the eventual rate hikes and decrease in features/service will surely chase me away. I guess the bright side is that it looks like I won’t need to start shopping for a new ISP until the end of the year at the earliest.
