Jon, Jill, and I tried the hi-test Cricket and afriCola, last night. I didn't tell Jon anything about them, and he instantly picked up on the tea flavoring in the Cricket. As far as the afriCola, it tasted a bit on the medicinal side for both of our likings (Jon didn't even finish his). Jill, on the other hand, preferred it to the Cricket.

I think there might be a future for me and the Diet Cricket. Of note was that tremendous sugar-crash that I had before bedtime. Man.

So, our Comcast provided 3Com cable modem had been giving us fits over the last few weeks. I took that as an opportunity to get our own cable modem (D-Link DCM-200...$28) and I have to say that I'm pleased. I don't have a benchmark of speed from the 3Com, but it would CONTINUOUSLY reset itself. So annoying. Anyhow, I just did the 2Wire.com speed test over the WiFi connection and got:

1. 7.27Mbps
2. 5.74Mbps
3. 6.17Mbps

That'll do, pig. That'll do.

Oh yeah...and the A's? 3.5 games back. HUZZAH!!!
