As occasionally happens, I tried to get on the Internet just now with my ADSL connection from Club-Internet. The remote computer, being all remote -- even moody -- did not respond. Just for the heck of it, I fired up the WiFi on my T41 ThinkPad and, voila, there were two networks floating around in my neighborhood. So, M. Netgear, thanks for the ride.
I'm not much interested in tennis, unless you count my tendency to pause while channel-surfing when I hit a broadcast of lithe young women in short skirts leaping to and fro, swinging rackets and grunting. Still, my attention was snagged by the BBC's interview with Andy Roddick after his defeat by Roger Federer at Wimbledon this week. In describing the game, Roddick said, "I threw everything at him including the kitchen sink, and he went and got his tub." And then, after the interviewer asked about the great rivalry with Federer, "I'll have to start winning some of these if they're going to call it a rivalry."
Elsewhen, Maria Sharapova apologized profusely to Serena Williams for beating her to win Wimbledon. Williams's smile didn't even look strained.
