Besides just your shopping experience, now they are ruining my internet service provider.

Speakeasy is the only ISP we've had that doesn't totally suck ass. They actually give you reliable service, they allow you to run a server, they have customer service people who actually know what they're talking about, they offer a decent range of products, etc.

Apparently Best Buy's big plan is to expand their small business clientele by adding Speakeasy's services. Too bad they didn't think about all the people who have Speakeasy now who are going to drop it because they don't want broadband service from fucking Best Buy. So good job Best Buy, you'll get to keep all the idiot businesses who already use you for technology services for God knows what reason, and maybe you'll sign up a couple more dummies, but I predict you'll lose most customers with brains in their heads.

I have no idea who we're supposed to get broadband service from now. Our other options suck. We need a business provider basically.

Thanks for nothing, Best Buy

Check out what Rob has to say about the matter too.

It was our dream come true when we finally could get Speakeasy. And it got even better when we could get their Onelink service which meant we didn't need to pay Verizon for a phone line in addition to the charge from Speakeasy for the DSL. Now they have to go and break our hearts.

SIGH.

I just heard an announcement on the radio that the Charles/MGH T station reopened today.

First of all, it never closed. Secondly, the new part of the station has been open for a while - I've used it several times. Maybe what they meant was it was finally complete and they moved all the construction crap and ladders, etc. out of the space.

It just annoys me when people make dumb mistakes like that.

Apparently a study finds lots of problems with kids - and their families - who spent significant time in daycare before kindergarten.

Well in case you were wondering apparently this is another story about how if you can't work from home or have a parent stay home with your kids, then you just shouldn't have any or they grow up broken. Seems a little harsh. What exactly is everyone supposed to do? Most people can't afford a stay at home parent and plenty of people's careers don't let them work from home.

We've got a lot of problems in this society folks.
