First let me say that this is somewhat stream of “thoughts” rather than a more formallized blog as I landed literally 90 minutes ago after 13 hours on a plane. I will come back and create more entries from these snippets. I left the hotel at 10:00PM Dubai Time, which is 2:00PM EDT. I then [more]
Berry in Dubai… Yup when one goes around the corporate IT and talks with people, they can get your Blackberry working in mere moments. Why I could not get through to anyone when I called… well they also changed that. Gotta love when someone just says I will take care of it, and does. Even [more]
I am starting this entry offline while I am over the Persian Gulf in seat 21A. (I wonder what NSA searches will find my blog now.) The numbers being displayed by the inflight information are changing as I write this entry, so math might not work. The angst I had about the iPod lasting for [more]

So one of the challenges I have had is that I often have trouble finding time to write a blog post when I think of it. This situation most often occurs when I am traveling for work. The reason is that most times I am thinking about this stuff while I am sitting on a [more]
I had to stop and get a bottle of water from this gas station/convenience store. I make no other comment.
Yup, traveling again. It was odd today, for the first time I can remember I was out of Blackberry coverage. It was funny to watch just how out of sorts people got by not having Blackberry access. I kind of figured that we were out in the fringes when the Blackberry said GPRS instead of [more]
So at the hotel, I connected to the network. I try to be somewhat careful in how I connect and where I connect. I turn on the firewall on my laptops.
