Here’s an interesting GoDaddy commercial. You may recognize one of the actors.

Cornell
Devon has decided to pursue graduate studies in Applied Physics at Cornell University, in Ithica, NY. Cornell is ranked 7th in the nation for Physics graduate programs (US News and World Report), so he could have done a lot worse.
He had originally applied for the PHD program in Physics, but later regretted it, feeling that the 6 or so years it would require were too much. When they offered him admission to the MS program instead, he jumped at it.
In the mean time, he has given notice at his job in Rancho Cucamonga, California, and is preparing to spend the summer in Taiwan intensively studying Chinese and having fun.
(Interesting note: Mom has traced our ancestry back to the Cornell family. We apparently are distant cousins, many times removed, of Ezra Cornell, the founder of the University.)

Seizing Again
Apollo had a seizure again last night, the first one since October. The vet said that unless they happen more than once a month, nothing needs to be done.
I caught much of it on video and was going to post it here, but both Derek and Gisele were disturbed by the idea, so I won’t.

21st Century Internet
I have had Earthlink DSL for 10(?) years now. It was about the best I could get when I started, and over the years they have slowly increased the speed, from around 768 kbps (down) initially to about 2.5Mbps (320 kbps up) the last couple of years. However the price has stayed high ($50/month) and the speed is now relatively slow.
So I finally upgraded to cable (Cox). Wow — what a difference! I get 12Mbps down regularly, at times up to 20Mbps. Upload runs around 2Mbps, at times up to 3. And it costs slightly less than DSL at $47.
Maybe I can start streaming Netflix movies with reasonable quality now.
Here’s from a few minutes ago:
