For the second year in a row, my ISP has done the following:
  1. Totally screwed up the billing for months

  2. Not noticed a change in my credit card information

  3. Sent me a dunning notice for several hundred dollars with a threat to discontinue service.

Come on guys. You don’t invoice monthly, you don’t call if there’s a problem, you barely keep records, and suddenly after months of this crap you want $700. Remember last year, when you did this? And apologized? And billed me an extra $20 a month to get your money back slowly? REMEMBER?

Capitalism shouldn’t be this hard.

Edit: The mess was worked out to mutual satisfaction. One advantage of the small ISP is that when the shit hits the fan, you can get someone on the phone who has the authority and the time to deal with your problem. I'd still recommend these guys, with the caveat that you need to get invoiced monthly or you're fucked.

Well, people around here always knew they were horrible greedy fakes, but now everyone’s going to know.

I walked on to the patio tonight and was immediately struck with the following scene: Two pretty 20somethings sitting in the coffeehouse, both with ponytails, both with laptops, facing the same way, sitting the same way. And I said to myself, “we live pretty near the factory, don’t we?” At one point they started talking to each other and we figured maybe they were comparing cars or boyfriends or generally having a Famille Smith moment. It was really sort of eerie.

here they are )
