I told you our internet was slow
A homing pigeon just beat a “broadband” connection here in Africa.
The pigeon carried a 4GB drive in the time it took the internet to send 4% of the data. Part of me thinks this is really funny, and another part of me wants to start training courier pigeons.
The article above is great, illuminating some real problems with such services.
Awesome.

No, Kyle, it is not awesome. It would be awesome if I had a homing pigeon and a 4GB flash drive. But I’m the one stuck with the 4% internet connection.
