I want this.

D-Link wireless Ethernet bridge

I guess I don't really *need* it, but this really would have come in handy in San Jose when I had to string 30 feet of Ethernet cable across my apartment to hook my ReplayTV into the router. It basically makes anything with an Ethernet port able to connect to your wireless network.

Update...

Wow, it's been more than a week since my last update. I'm flying up to San Jose tomorrow to see Andrea and attend the big Halloween party on Saturday. Weekends seem so short when I travel. Last weekend was pretty fun, too. I hung out at Disneyland with Chad and Susan, and they came up to L.A. the next day to see "Punch Drunk Love" with me in Santa Monica. An odd, wonderful little movie.

Andrea finds out tomorrow whether she'll get a job offer from the San Gabriel Valley Tribune chain. I hope she gets the offer, but I'm not sure whether they'll pay her enough to make the move worthwhile.

My first real tech story should appear in Investor's Business Daily sometime in the next couple of days. It's about instant messaging in the workplace and whatnot.
