So, I’m finally watching one of your shows in real-time, and I get the “because you are watching this show in real-time go to our website to see blah blah blah blah“. So I go to your website, and I see ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SPECIAL BUT IT TAKES FOREVER TO LOAD ‘CAUSE ALL THE OTHER DORKS [...]
This is that stupid Visa commercial where everyone is moving smoothly, like the little cogs in the capatalist machine that they are, getting their food pellets and paying using their track-your-purchases-sell-your-data-while-opening-you-to -identity-theft-and-making-your-our-debt-slave-Visa card.

So, I’m staying a nice hotel in the self-proclaimed capital of Silicon Valley. Of course, they have hot and cold running internet (wireless and wired!), but there is no outlet with 10 feet of the desk (where the wired internet is).
