I didn't sleep well last night so had way way way too much caffeine to compensate and that usually leads me to strange thoughts. Today's strange thought: I see parallels between what cell phones did to telephone service audio quality and what Cloudflare is doing to internet availability.

My fellow hose drinkers will remember the MCI ads about hearing a pin drop on a phone call to the other side of the world, and from there it was a race to have the best audio quality.
