Ordered a 25-foot ethernet cable in black for Patrick to use his laptop at the dining table when working. Patrick and Sam went to Stonestown to find Sam a new baseball cap. Completed the first draft of the Web banners. I created XHTML and imagemap versions. Completed the ergonomic exercise provided by human resources. It's a Shockwave thing—you step through various screens which tell you how to sit, adjust workspace, and so on to reduce or prevent things like carpal tunnel syndrome. Sam brought over another housewarming gift for us: a tan clay vase with Chinese characters and (I think) Greek borders. Dinner at home: alfredo chicken with cavatappi, french-cut green beans, pugliese rolls. Last night we got all solid green lights when I turned on the DSL modem, so I tried getting it configured today but Sonic said that it's not due to be live until May 14, regardless of the green lights. No big deal—that's still faster time-to-live than Speakeasy last fall, which never got my connection working and is still attempting to bill me for it. Die, Speakeasy, die! Updated wallet emergency information cards.
