PingWi-Fi Samples Art, Seeks Street Cred At St. James Court
October 6th, 2009 · Tags: Arts · Cities · Hotels · Wi-Fi
This dirty job gig in Louisville has gone on so long, the place seems like home. I work 10-12 hours a day in the disaster recovery industry and then hit my favorite L-Ville coffee shop (Quills) … repeat. But, luck of the draw, last weekend was my turn to take off a day. And how […]

The commercial launch for PingWi-Fi.com was in November, a press conference hosted by San Francisco International Airport, but we have been up and running the blog for one year now. How we doin? Well, at the get-go, I said that I would consider the first year a success if we attended one and only one […]

July 9th, 2009 · Tags: Arts · Cities
Sweet. Someone found The Clash interview on this site, and they also dug through the archive and found a group photo of the band on the tour bus. The links were then posted on a Clash forum called If Music Could Talk — www.clashcity.com. Very cool. Best of all, their readers hit PingWi-Fi.com. We crave […]

“This just in … Michael Jackson flung the casket open, hopped on top, did a backward flip to the floor and moonwalked across the stage to launch his new worldwide comeback tour … obviously the greatest publicity stunt in like forever, man.” That’s why he is called The King (of Pop) … Made ya look!

I’ll never forget where I was and what I was doing when I heard the news that Michael Jackson was dead. No wait … I better write it down. I was using Wi-Fi at Starbucks, as I am prone to do. More specifically, I was trading e-mails with an attorney about trademark issues, and beating […]
