Just over a year ago I posted about the major upgrade that we had gotten to our internet here, even though price-wise we were still getting fleeced - US$45 for a 1 Terabyte data package (and this was the basic package!) that offered 1Mbps speeds maximum. At some point this year those fine folks at the mobile network that was providing this service (which they named SmartBiz) decided to change tactics by getting rid of that and introducing the new and much more ridiculous sounding SmartSuite service, which is just another collection of small data bundles tagged with ridiculous prices.

Welcome to #CoolTuesday for the new month of December! There's a slight change: Mondays will be an off day, meaning that Tuesdays are the day when you can catch your R&B songs. That off day gives me time to do prep work behind the scenes and rest a bit. None of the other days will be affected so no worries about them. Let's check out today's Top 10 Cool Tunes of the Day! 10 John Legend & The Roots featuring Common & Melanie Fiona - Wake Up Everybody 09 Funhill featuring Lincoln Jean-Marie - Me My Turn (Street Soul Mix) 08 Seinabo Sey - Pretend 07 The Internet - Dontcha 06 Gabriel Gifford featuring Maya Law & Freya Roy - Cold Too 05 Ciara featuring Summer Walker - Better Thangs 04 Chromeo - Jealous (I Ain't With It) (Disciples Remix) 03 ford. featuring Barrie - 4:38am 02 Tyrese - What Am I Gonna Do? 01 Quantic featuring Alice Russell - Now or Never https://archive.org/download/channelqueenvalaudio/Val%20RnBCool%20Dec%20A%202025.mp3 All previous sets are f...
