Wilkes-Barre, Penn., … pronounced like Wilksbury … I just learned is the boyhood home of swing musician Tommy Dorsey. Good to know.

iPaint It Black … Remembering Steve Jobs Without Wi-Fi
October 6th, 2011 · Tags: Airports · Cities · Gadgets · Wi-Fi
Wow … Do you remember where you were when you learned Steve Jobs had died? I was a few hours behind the curve and heard it from my boss Chris from The Dirty Gig. It was the day I was headed from Harrisburg to Philly to Binghampton, NY via US Airways.
Sweet Wi-Fi And Me — A Chocolaty Mess
October 4th, 2011 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
There are two things I want to see the most while in Pennsylvania … well three if you count the National Civil War Museum. The other two are a tale of two meltdowns. One is Three Mile Island, and the other is the Hershey’s chocolate plant. Four things I would like to see, actually, but […]

October 1st, 2011 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
What a treat … In Annville, Penn., just down the street from Lebanon Valley College is the Allen Theater and the adjoining MJ’a Coffeehouse At The Allen. The Wi-Fi, my featured event, is quite good, free, and trouble-free. When was the last time you sat in a cool coffee shop that also sells old school […]

Cravings for the Wi-Fi world seem almost sacrilegious out and about in Lancaster, Penn., — the heart of Amish Country. But it what we do.
Sometimes Wi-Fi Takes Back Seat To Live Music — Harrisburg
September 17th, 2011 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
One of my very best college friends is from Harrisburg, Penn. I haven’t talked to him or even been able to locate him for 20 years … even with the help of the all-powerful, all-knowing Facebook. Wouldn’t it be strange if I ran into him on the street during my visit to The Quaker State?

September 12th, 2011 · Tags: Arts · Cities
Even though the PingWi-Fi caravan has landed in Pennsylvania, I am still California dreaming. There was so little time and so much to say from the recent trip to Socal. But … just a few last thoughts. Thoughts of yesterday … great thoughts.

Detecting Smokey Wi-Fi Signal & Intrigue At La Quinta
September 7th, 2011 · Tags: Cities · Hotels · Satire · Wi-Fi
Soon after I started traveling to disaster cleanup sites — my Dirty Gigs — I was faced with a dilemma. Should I critique or review a hotel in which I live for two weeks or more? Would that be fair, since in the span of oh, say, 30 days, you probably get to witness just […]
Klatch — A Great Wi-Fi Catch, In Historic Cucamonga Yo!
August 30th, 2011 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
RAN-CHO …. KOOK-a-MONGA! Rancho Cucamonga … Say it aloud. “Rancho Cucamonga.” If you are old enough to remember back when David Letterman was still funny and cutting edge, he used to pause and just say funny sounding words for comic effect. “Rancho Cucamonga.” Perhaps a missed opportunity, Dave. So, yes, I was cruising Rancho Cucamonga […]
