I canceled my internet service and the world didn’t end. Ironic then that one of the last pages I downloaded at home was schrodingerthecat.com indicating Schrodinger is DEAD.

Now, there will be no more visiting websites listed in the real world. After turning in my modem I saw URLs like:

• metrocharity.org
• HoustonCommunityService.org
• tcresidential.com

Never could get defiantdog.com to work with my browser. I did however, surf to the end of the Internet at www.wwwdotcom.com and back. I can reminisce with the Top Sites page of Safari browser.

Now I’m on the wrong side of the digital divide. I have no internet, not even dial-up. I applied for government assistance, too; the $40 DTV coupon. I canceled my TV, too. I had access to good education channels but I hadn’t watched TV much. Still haven’t re-setup my other comptuer after Ike to record TV. Now, I’ll be on rabbit ears TV. Will I be seeing internet in National Geographic’s magazine featuring remote undeveloped countries?

Now that I’ve disconnected from the collective hive-mind matrix of the blogosphere and TV land, I just might be able to live down the “Lyndell of Borg” moniker.
