Lightning sucks!

What's really sad is that it looks like the surge killed the modem on my $500 DVR. It still works for now, but can't call in, so I'll have to replace it evetually. I found a new one at an ebay store for $350, but it's still a damn shame.

Looks like it killed the answering machine too. And the phone line seems messed up.

I thought I'd be able to run out to a store and buy a replacement dsl modem, but no luck so far - next task on my list today is to call the dsl provider.

All because I was so excited watching a great storm pass over the house with the wife, that I forgot to unplug the phone line.

Don't I feel dumb.
