On the Air, Everywhere

My boss is the head of IT in addition to being the head of Engineering. This is a good thing, because he gets cool geek toys to play with. Sometimes his minions (that would be me) get to play too!

I am sitting in the passenger seat of our mid-size SUV typing away on a laptop that he loaned me right now. Big deal, you say - lots of folks have laptops, and almost all of them have Notepad (my text editor of choice) or some other document-creation tool. Oh, but this is different, my friend. I am making this entry directly onto the blogger.com website.

That's right, me hearties (Oops, yesterday was "talk like a pirate day." Arrgh, I'm a day late. Shiver me timbers!) I'm online, via Sprint's new PCS Internet access service. It's pretty cool, let me tell you. And even useful, if you can believe that.

For instance, we got caught in traffic for a bit. I was able to get online and check my favorite live traffic web site to see if the backup was a local one or a big thing we needed to get off the freeway to get around.

I am doing my best to keep the drool off the keyboard.
