About once a year, the electronics in my house get together and decide to stage a sit-in. Or a turn-off. Or whatever you want to call it. Lately, all of the following have gone on the fritz:

• One ReplayTV (the main one with 75 hours of shows and movies on it)
• One wireless bridge that connects a second ReplayTV to get the channel guide, so it's not recording anything new
• The new wireless adapter I bought Brent for his birthday to put the PlayStation online
• One Treo 600 cell phone
• The screen on a printer/scanner/copier, so all you can do is print to it since you can't tell what else you're doing when pressing buttons
• One LCD monitor whose screen won't display anything
• The talk button on one FRS radio so you can't respond when the other person calls you
• And all of a sudden last night, the wireless card in my laptop

And the full moon is just now starting....

Maybe they're all just tired of the workouts they get, but I think it's karmic revenge for when I tried to convince Kailee that laptops without wireless internet weren't useless. She was right - it's a brick now.
