Three ways you can tell your Internet connection is freakin’ fast…

  1. You can FTP files to/from your website almost as fast as you can copy them from one folder to another on your laptop’s hard drive.
  2. Your upload bandwidth is faster than your good friend Phil’s download bandwidth.

    ….and the final way you know your Internet connection is too freakin’ fast…..

  3. The CPU in your Linksys WRT54GL router is not able to fully utilize the entire pipe as it is CPU bound!

Verizon FIOS 20Mbps/20Mbps all on a piece of glass about the size of a thick human hair. Yeah, baby.

How to tie your shoe laces

My buddy Theoretical Ken just posted what might be the most useful blog post I have ever come across! How to tie your shoes so they don’t come undone, YET are easy to undo when you want to take them off!

Yes, you can do a double knot, but that is a pain to get undone. This simple modification on how to tie your shoes is easy to teach to a kid (Jake got it the first time) and easy for them to undo too.

This will be very useful to me when I go running with gators on top of my boots/shoes. It is such a pain to have to re-tie laces when they are under a gator.

My life is now complete. Come get me lord ;-)
