Day 8: Technology

30 day photo challenge, day eight: technology. Also a reminder it is time to order new patch cords O_o

This is actually a router, not a cable modem. The coaxial cable is used to provide networking to the cable boxes. Unlike Comcrap, FIOS cable boxes pick up their networking through the broadband router. Using coaxial means not having to run two cables to each set top box. 

The challenge is at http://sherryturley.blogspot.com/2011/07/anyone-up-for-challenge.html

On sleep deprivation and Incan Monkey Gods

From: Dilbert comic strip for 08/03/1992 from the official Dilbert comic strips archive. I was trying to show this strip to a coworker who is dangerously toying with the harsh mistress that is Insomnia. What shocked me is how quickly I was able to look up the strip, which was published when he was just 11 years old, and two weeks before my just-out-of-college ass shipped out to US Army Basic Training.

The Black Hole

If this was a minigolf hole, you can't reach B from A. Ever. If this was a room lined with mirrors, and you lit a candle at point A, you can't see it from B, not even reflected.  Update: I guess I didn't explain this all the way through. You can't reach B from A with just one stroke, there's no direct line between them, and there is no way to bounce the ball (assuming perfect conditions). Thanks to Ben for pointing this obvious error.
