Last night I played Battlefield 2 online with a friend who lives in Wichita Falls. It is pretty cool being virtually connected. Naturally, as I am terrible at games, I got shot many many times. The key is to figure out how to see and shoot the enemy before they see and shoot you. I can see virtual connections becoming more and more commonplace. Eventually with IP voice traffic all "calls" will become free and you will be able to be online with all your friends and family at the same time. With the advent of 3G and video phones, it will be even more commonplace to dial up your family and watch them talk. Although sometimes you don't want that to happen at all. Like yesterday at work when I received a call in the bathroom(I had just finished) and without thinking answered it. There I was talking to my financial adviser's wife when all of a sudden a toilet flush could be heard. I think she might've snickered a little. It is just a habit to answer the phone when it rings. You know what would be weird, if it was always on and never ringed(rung for the retentive). It'd be like the other person was in the bathroom with you. All of a sudden you hear,"How's it going?" and then they hear ..flush... Now that is freaky.

"I was clinging to those keys, man, like a branch on the banks of a raging river, and now I have let go and I'm free to go with the current, to float, and I thank you."
