Today was the day...

I knew it was coming eventually, but I tried denying it. Slowly but surely, sites like Facebook, Myspace, and YouTube have been blocked by my employer. Believe it or not, even other SB Nation blogs were blocked, but not Stampede Blue. Until today.

Today was the day I got the dreaded Webwasher notification. I knew it would happen eventually, but I wasn't prepared for it. I was lost all morning. I missed reading the new posts and takes from various fans. Due to the advances in Internet usage with cell phones, I was able to view it... but it's just not the same. Eventually I remoted into my home computer to view it but I have an uneasy feeling about tomorrow morning. What will work be like without Stampede Blue?

On to Colts related thoughts, how could you not be excited for the start of the season? Our entire team is essentially returning. We now have the best backfield in a long time. If Marvin comes back healthy, and not suspended, we'll have the best group of receivers in the NFL. The young defense will have one more year of experience to build upon. Don't you just want to play the games now? The Bears visit in exactly four months, and I can't wait.

So which...

So which “fascist” company do you work for? Perhaps “Goebells, Higel and Himmler Attorney at Law?”

Stupid Censorship

Why do people care so much about a victimless crime like a Facebook page or a blog?

my work

They already block myspace, which is fine because I don’t have a myspace page. They block YouTube, which ticks me off, but I can still go to Google Videos. They haven’t blocked Facebook yet, but that’s probably coming soon. They have a funny “delay” thing happening with several sports websites (mlb.com, nfl.com, espn.com) where sometimes the website is several days or weeks old….like you go to mlb.com and it shows you “today’s scores” as four days ago. Pretty soon I will only be able to use the internet at work for work related stuff.

Yeah, I know, that’s probably the way it should be. But I work at a hospital, and the patients use the same network as we do…so if you are a patient at my hospital, don’ t plan on doing anything fun on the internet while you are here.
