‘Turn Me On Dead Man’ Ever hear that phrase? Back in the day, when the Beatles took a break from experimental drugs, they experimented with backward masking — purportedly playing audio tapes backward and recording the sound effects into their songs. One such hidden treasure was John saying, “Turn me on dead man,” referring to […]

If you search for the hashtag Wi-Fi (#wi-fi) on Twitter, you may be surprised at the number of peeps whose lives apparently revolve around Wi-Fi access. Seems perfectly normal to me … LOL
Tea Party Patriots Welcome Perry, Tough Texan Talk

Perhaps it is premature to predict that Texas Governor Rick Perry will be the next U.S. President, but it is interesting to note that 5,000 people showed up in Fort Worth yesterday to see him stump at LaGrave Field. That’s not bad — 5,000 people — four years before the election. So, will the First […]

At the risk of being labeled subversive or put on a blacklist by the current administration, I am writing about one of the most American of America’s pastimes — baseball. I am sure such a wholesome activity is deemed unacceptable among the current socialist inner circle in Washington … but so be it.

I wanted to ride my bike today. On two wheels, I can turn up the iPod, burn a calorie, think and solve most of the world’s problems. But today North Texas was forced indoors by heavy rains. I turned to the tube … There was an interesting piece on PBS about public bicycle sharing programs […]

As ’70s legendary band names spewed out of me like so much rhetoric from a Chicago politician, I mentioned one somewhat obscure rock band. Wishbone Ash.

This is my second cross-country travel blog in search of all things Wi-Fi. The two trips are similar. But, if there is anything missing this time, it is the lack of opportunities to just sit and visit with locals. Yesterday was a nice exception. In Fargo I was driving around, snapping a few photos when […]

Here in Fargo, I am guessing we will be taking our Wi-Fi on the ground, with a hot and delicious beverage. But others may be taking to the skies. So, enjoy this bit of news from our friends at American Airlines: AMERICAN AIRLINES ANNOUNCES DOMESTIC EXPANSION OF AIRCELL’S GOGO INFLIGHT INTERNET SERVICE
