I’m sitting in the O’Hare International Airport in Chicago using the Boingo wifi service, so I thought I’d make a quick post.  I posted about a couple of global wifi plans a while back and Boingo was one of them.  Seeing as I have 6 hours to kill before my flight, I opted for the […]

September 17th, 2008 · 2 Comments

One of the things I’ve been a little worried about when it comes to this whole mobile lifestyle thing is being able to find fast, reliable internet connections to work from.  Since I trade this is even more important than if I was just building web pages.  I rely on streaming information to make decisions […]

The Pirate Life

August 19th, 2008 · No Comments

I’ve become very interested in sailing recently. I was always under the impression that only the rich could afford a nice sailboat for some reason, but some recent searching on the net has revealed this to be completely untrue.
