I normally wake up at 5:30am and then read email and followed by RSS feeds for
about 15-20 minutes each morning before getting into the shower and getting ready
for work.

Today is the second day in a row that my ISP's upstream feed to the Internet has been
down. I live out in the middle
of no where central Minnesota and consider myself lucky to have the low bandwidth
broadband connection that I have. (It is enough to be able to work from home most
days.)

My ISP is Xtratyme and boy they sure suck.
They are nice enough people but their business model is a wreck and it shows.

Argghhhh!!!!!!!
