Fios Install

I stopped by the Verizon Fios page and sent in my phone number again. Instead of the usual “coming soon” message, I actually got an installation date - March 4th. And that’s not a date of when it’ll be available, that’s when the guy is going to come to the house, sometime between 8 and 5.

15mbps, here I come…

Brand Addiction

How difficult is it to avoid branding? Take a quiz.

One of the things that we tried to avoid with Abby was exposing her to too much generic children’s television. This isn’t really an issue of “too much TV”, which is a valid yet different discussion. What we really didn’t want is to have to hear requests too soon for a room decorated in a SpongeBob Squarepants motif. If you take a look at some of her classmates (in the 3-4 year range), they might as well have brands stamped on their forehead.
