Here’s all the pictures my friends and I took from our experiance…
I posted them on flickr because autoblog and a few other sites ran them, and I didn’t wanna kill our bandwidth here.

Okay. I’ve got a feeling we’ll see this soon, mark my words!
I bought a D-Link G132 mini USB WiFi Adapter. (which are on sale at outpost.com right now for $19 bucks after a $25 rebate…)
So, The problem? Drivers. I HATE drivers.
So, I am trying to buy something in Canada. I want to pay in Canadian funds. This seems pretty simplistic. Well, none of the banks and Post offices around will issue a money order in Canadian Funds.
The Local bank, however, suggest I convert the desired amount, into USD, and send a money order for that amount. Which, was my plan B. So… They start to “process” my order.
Now, not everyone may know this, but 50 dollars in the USA is worth roughly 58 dollars in Canadian money. This often works out as a benefit for Americas like us who live in Michigan, near Canada.
Well, The bank finished their processing and came up with 73.05 was what I had to pay them, in order for my USD to be worth 50 dollars CAD. Obviously this is completely wrong, as American money is worth slightly more than Canadian money. Argh.
So, after 20 minutes of teaching them math, we were all set. 50 dollars would cover what I needed. And then, they tell me its 20 dollars to buy a money order from the bank as a non-member…
What a waste of a lunch.
There’s a fantastic revolution in computers and peripherals. Smaller is 
better. I mean, i remember back in the day, I bought a 1.44mb floppy disk. It was large. I couldn’t really fit much on it, and well honestly… It sucked. Then the CD Burner. It revolutionized personal computing I believe. I mean, look, we don’t even have a floppy drive anymore (unless you need to boot a win98se install for the Fdisk shit…) But, honestly the CD is worthless too… kinda. They allowed us to do simple rewrites, appends and not closing the session. That was somewhat useful, but, never, in my life, did i ever delete the content of a CD-RW and then put completely new stuff on it.
