1994.

For some reason unknown to me, I did not have internet access at my
apartment this weekend. It was like it was 15 years ago before I
googled and emailed as reflexively as I breathe. Actually, it was
worse than 1994 as the technology of the day -- dial-up -- is not an
option when you do not have a land line. I never realized just how
often I have the desire to google something or how much I like getting
sucked in by Wikipedia. And, worse, I'm woefully behind on my pop
culture updates. I did have my trusty blackberry but its just not the
same. I am actually looking forward to going to work tomorrow morning
so I can get my internet fix (and make a binder) before heading to the
airport.
