Internet

So, here I am at work without internet. Well that's not entirely true, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to write this. I do bring my computer and the wireless internet is working just fine. But my work computer is without internet, which basically means my computer is "down." I don't really understand why this term is used, because everything except the internet still works. The computer can still run every program that's on there, it just can't connect to the internet. Even though this is the only problem with my computer at the current point in time, it really is pretty much "down" because I can't do anything related to work. Everything that I need to get to us on a network drive, so I can't access it. It's pretty funny to be here right now, because there are a couple other people's computers that are "down", so they just have to stand around and wait because they can't do anything else. So here we are at work, not being able to do any work (not that I have much work to do anyways). That's pretty crazy, and all because the internet doesn't work. It's kind of surprising how dependent everyone is on it. I was kind of wondering what would happen if the internet just stopped working. Everywhere. I'm sure there would be mass hysteria and the economy would dive into the ground and the world would cease to exist. That's what I think would happen anyways. I also wonder how long people would just sit around waiting for the internet to work again. I bet it would take quite a long time before anyone started working without the use of the internet. The world would basically stand still. But those are just my theories. It's just kind of crazy to realize how important the internet is today. Al Gore must be a genius after all...

Oh, those iPhones

So here I am,writing with an iPhone. This won't be the longest post in the world, because I am in fact writing this with a phone. I am pretty impressed with the technology behind this thing. It is really easy to use and the touch screen is much more precise than I ever imagined. Now I'm not going to go out and buy one, but it is pretty nifty and I'll certainly use it if I don't have to pay for it. So yea, definitely better than I expected and I look forward to using it many a time in the near future. Hooray Apple!!!

Never trust a rooster from Peru

So one of the most memorable things from the trip, for a bad reason, was the roosters. They were really loud and I'm pretty sure that there were at least 5 of them right outside my door. Well that might be debated by other members of the trip, but don't listen to them. So 5 roosters, right outside my door, every night. But these roosters must have been retarded or something, because I don't think I was ever waken up at the same time twice, and the sun was never up when they started their crowing. I thought that was like a requirement for roosters. Wait until the sun is up before making noise. Well these guys must have crowed every time they saw the moon. It made for some pretty miserable sleeping. Well that combined with the hard pillows and various other noises, but that's a whole other story. But if you ever find yourself in Peru and hear the roosters crow, I am warning you not to trust that it is time to get up. Maybe being in the southern hemisphere throws them off or something, but it's not time to get up. Seeing sunlight would be a good indication of if it's time to get up, so at least wait for that. But yea, never trust a rooster from Peru. Those are wise words to live by.
