echoing your voice

i guess i'll try and recreate the post i attempted to make yesterday. i was originally going to update back on wednesday, but my internet was not working for almost two days. austin and i are having continual problems with the internet either running slow or quitting entirely for periods of time. at first i kept blaming zoomtown for the problems, but now i think the real culprit might be our router. we're currently using a linksys, and i think i might go buy a new router to see if that helps. anyone have a brand or model they'd recommend?

i also need to get an fm adapter for my ipod so i can use it in my car. the ability to have my entire music collection at my disposal when i'm driving is one of the primary reasons i wanted an ipod in the first place. carrying my entire cd collection back and forth from to my car is something i'm unwilling to do in corryville, and the ipod gives me an easy solution to the problem. jess and i stopped by the apple store in kenwood mall last weekend. they had some fm tuners there, but i wanted to see what other places are selling them for, and if there are any good third-party alternatives out there. so far i haven't had any luck, but i also haven't done much looking.

my anger over the bearcat's loss in the nit quarterfinals has subsided somewhat, but there's still little happiness to take away from how this season went. the team just took one too many punches. shame on muhammed and white for not being able to put forth a minimal amount of academic effort for just one more quarter. saying that they let the team down is an understatement. still, the rest of the bearcats gave it all they had, and for basically only playing seven players they did well. i'm still bitter over the way that the administration treated kennedy. i don't think they ever had any intention of giving him the job, unless there was really no other alternative out there. good luck to him in mississippi though, he deserves it. and good luck to bob huggins at kansas state. i don't have any ill-will towards cronin as uc's new coach (hey, a fellow uc history major!) because the situation isn't his fault, but the administration should be ashamed. they keep talking about wanting to give uc a good image; well snubbing your interim coach after he did a fantastic job holding this season together is not the way to do it.
