On Such a Snowy Day, Let's All Give Thanks of the Techie Kind

My son's school closed early today, so I left work to pick him up (he normally walks a mile home, but he didn't have snow gear). Unfortunately, my work day wasn't over, and I didn't want to lose any vacation hours. The fact that I could bring my computer home and boot up with full connectivity to my company reminded me once again what a great age we live in--technologically speaking, anyway.

So here's my "thank you!" list for today:

Laptops

Broadband (I don't even think I remember how to use dialup anymore!)

Instant messaging

Broadband

Good ol' email

Broadband

RSA SecurIDs with those nifty random number generators

and did I mention broadband?

Oh, yeah, and thanks to Midas for putting those nifty winter-style blades on my windshield wipers a few weeks ago. Sure made the drive home easier.
