I was without an internet connection for a few days. The modem was deemed to be the problem by the Verizon repair fellow. It was a bit of an ordeal at first as I tried to repair it myself for three days before calling for support. The modem would gradually slow down, and then finally lose the connection; which seemed like a problem of overheating.

When I called Verizon support, they asked that I swap the cable around. This required pulling up the edge of the carpet and swinging ~90 feet of RJ-11 cable around... that had no effect. They finally decided to send a specialist after ringing us (my folks and I) through the telephone support-monkey checklist.

So, for about three days (plus the 2-3 days trying to repair it myself), or so, I was completely without a connection to Teh Great Interwebz. It gave me an opportunity to waste my time in more constructive ways; and two of the results are my two new 'Orbits' vector drawings.

It was interesting to see how much I have come to rely on the internet for many things; but I'm glad it's back now.

If you are still accepting contributions to your "portfolio" book, I would be more than happy to participate.

You can email me at: aviatorgeek14@gmail.com and let me know what you need and I will be sure to give a much swifter reply.
