The Flip Side Of Net Neutrality. So far Time Warner hasn’t instituted data caps for my home Internet but Comcast could change that in the future.

I needed these ten reminders. My fifth decade starts in the third quarter of this year. No time like now.

What happens to your online accounts when you die?
I need to read my Terms of Service more closely. I had planned on passing on my password archive to my descendants but that may actually be prevented according to the ToS.

“There is another way … “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself.” (Leviticus 19:18)
I dialed a phone number yesterday that I’ve had memorized all my life … literally. It’s the phone number I grew up with. It was the first phone number I learned. I dialed it from my work phone, and it rang and rang and never got answered by the answering machine. Odd, I though to myself. Next, I tried my cell phone. Almost immediately I got the “You have reached a phone number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service” message. That got my attention.

I’ve gone all nostalgic now. I love this movie. I should buy it so I can enjoy all these behind the scenes goodies myself.

Finally, A Way To Find Movies Worth Watching On Netflix
http://techcrunch.com/2014/07/09/finally-a-way-to-find-movies-worth-watching-on-netflix/?ncid=rss
I’ll give this site a try this weekend. This is exactly why i don’t like Netflix streaming: I am not going to waste my time slogging through the slush pile of Rotten Tomatoes to find that one priceless pearl of a movie to watch. There’s always a great book waiting on my shelf to read commercial free and quiet.
