I never learnWednesday, January 02, 2008 by Dave Winer. Okay I wanted something for Christmas and I didn't get it, so I decided on 12/31 to buy it for myself. I opted for one-day shipping which meant it would arrive on 1/2, which is today. So I was following it on the Amazon site, as it made its way from Louisville to Oakland to San Pablo, to oooops. I don't know, is it just me, or are we getting too deep into this computer thing. |
