Seems like the broadband war is becoming more fierce: cable companies are becoming to offer prices that are the same, or lower, than the DSL prices. At last! Comcast is promoting a deal for $19.95/m for the full first-year. Not a bad deal. Read the story on CNet.
I use Cablevision cable and I’m fairly satisfied, except for the price: $50. I’d like the price to go down to, say, $30 or $35.
So let the war continue!
Later this month, when you switch your cell-phone provider, you will be able to take the old number and carry it with you. That’s pretty good, and that’s how it should be. More competition = More choices.
An article on News.com (good tech-news source).
I’m a New York Knicks fan but I think the NJ Nets are finally going to win the championship (I’d like to see them win). The Nets, with Kidd, Mourning, Martin, Jefferson, and because of the experience they gained, are my favorite to win it all.
From West?? I’ll bet on Dallas Mavericks (no, I don’t think the Lakers will win it; they’re my 2nd favorite, though).
Nets-Dallas in the finals and Nets win? We’ll see. I’ll be watching!

As far as the Knicks are concerned, I’ll be happy if they get into playoffs (if not, Chaney should be out). I’m also hopefull, that if they suck, Chaney will give some playing time to develop their rookies (I’m thinking about Maciej Lampe here).
See my pics from a preseason Nets-Knicks game that I went to recently.
Have you had the new $20 yet? I’ve got mine recently and I’m keeping it! It’s pretty cool, and very different than the previous ones: Very colorful and containing quite a few new security-features.
Check out the presentation here on the new features and design. Impressive.

Can you find the Man’s Head in the picture within 3 seconds?
According to recent medical experiments:
If you can find the Man’s Head within 3 seconds, your right brain is much more highly developed than in normal people.
If you can find the Man’s Head within 1 minute, your right brain is developed normally.
If you can find the Man’s Head within 1-3 minutes, your right brain is slow in reacting……you should eat more meat protein.
If it takes more than 3 minutes for you to find the Man’s Head, your right brain is a disaster . . . . . extremely slow in reacting.
AND YES -THERE REALLY IS A MAN IN THERE!
Concorde planes make final flights — Three Concorde planes, the world’s only supersonic airliners, will arrive at Heathrow at around 16:00BST (1500 GMT) after making their final flights on Friday, ending 27 years of supersonic travel.
I guess my dream of flying a Concorde will never happen 
. Oh, well. Hopefully, a new, super-fast jet will come alive fairly soon.
Yes, that’s right! (I’m sorry to all the ladies out there — just kidding )
9/20/2003: Our Wedding Day — a day that we’re going to remember forever! Everything went well! — seemed to us that everybody (~185 people) had a lot of fun at our ceremony.
Honeymoon??? I know, but I’m working on it. I’d like to either go to Hawaii or, preferably, to Australia (if I can convince Marta ).
So a whole new beginning to my life!
Leading scorer on a Knicks team? I’m not sure about that… But 16 points, 2 blocks and actually, for one game at least, a leading scorer: NOT BAD! Actually, Maciej started out strong, very strong; I know it’s pre-season, but still.
Hopefully, he’ll get his minutes in a regular season. I’m starting to be a believer in that he’ll be a good NBA-player. I’ll probably go see him vs NJ Nets soon.

Niezly poczatek dla Macieja! W swoim pierwszym meczu i takie wyniki! Bardzo dobrze, i oby tak dalej! Chociaz nie jest jeszcze to regularny sezon, to 16 punktow i 2 bloki to bardzo dobrze.
Chyba pojde na mecz w nastepny wtorek jak Knicks beda grac z Nets: chce go zobaczyc z bliska.
Maciej Lampe, 2nd Polish guy in the NBA, signed a contract with the NY Knicks. There has been a lot of coverage about this kid. I said this before, I think this kid will develop into a pretty good player; he’s got what it takes: size, talent, and most of all, determination and attitude. (I like him a lot.)
