Router and modem problems?

I am appalled, absolutely appalled, at the number of issues my clients are having with their routers and modems. It’s a crime. Well, perhaps that is a tad too strong. But verily it is a sign of the willful estrangement of some devices and IP’s from The Fount Of All Streams.

Sistertech would like to remind you all that when everything else fails, The One In Charge is still there.

Should you manage to get your modem and router speaking to one another and to the Internet, you probably should make sure to celebrate their union. In Sistertech’s opinion, which, of course, is the only correct one, the proper way to mark this joyous occasion is through the sacrament of marriage.

Yes, there is an “app” for that for: the blessing for the union of modem and router.

The freedom to connect

Sistertech could not suppress her glee at hearing Secretary Clinton add “the freedom to connect” to FDR’s Four Freedoms. Brava!

The first four you’re probably familiar with: freedom of expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. To those, Clinton tacked on a fifth freedom — “the freedom to connect”:

The freedom to connect is like the freedom of assembly, only in cyberspace. It allows individuals to get online, come together, and hopefully cooperate. Once you’re on the internet, you don’t need to be a tycoon or a rock star to have a huge impact on society.
