Girl vs. Boy

The other night the power went out.  As a result, not only did all our clocks reset to a fascinating blinking 12:00 (in reality, you don’t see much of that anymore), but we also lost our internet.

To be more specific, the internet itself wasn’t “out” so to speak. What really happened is the wireless router decided to stop working.  The lights are on, but nobody’s home.  The wireless network itself seems MIA and a direct connection to the router didn’t seem to produce any results either.

What I need to check next is the actual modem to see if a connection is at least getting to the house.  Even if not, the wireless router should at least allow me to get on the network – though it’s not.  It looks like I’ll be off to RadioShack to pick up a new one.  Hopefully the modem is ok.
