After additional research, it has come to my attention that I may have heaped undeserved praise on a New Zealand coffee shop in a recent blog, or even worse, judged some of the competition unfairly. Muh bad!

Pinging The Friendly Skies — Wi-Fi On American … A-Gogo
April 17th, 2011 · Tags: Airports · Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
Too often I rage on a plane because of man’s inhumanity to man … but today has been a glorious flying experience, or GFE, on American Airlines. First of all, I am not squeezed into the seat next to any sort of circus performer or social misfit. Praise the Lord and pass the peanuts … […]
Wi-Fi Where Some People Know Your Name – Boston, Beyond
March 16th, 2011 · Tags: Arts · Cities · Coffee Shops · Hotels · Wi-Fi
The Dirty Gig continues in the Boston area, with day trips throughout the state and over into Connecticut counteracting the effects of flooding. With little time for Wi-Fi … but here are a few notes and some random photos. First off, just let me say, Boston DID NOT get the memo that smoking is so […]
PingWi-Fi: Sweet-Smelling Spin Meister Making History
February 14th, 2011 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
The PingThing Wi-Fi travel blog dates back to almost 2003, known by a couple of names … but the song remains the same. In addition to covering some 70-odd cities, in many of the cities we are now on our second or third go around. Such is the case with Boston. The first time I […]
If You Pass On Coffee, There MUST Be Wi-Fi With Donuts
January 29th, 2011 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Sports · Wi-Fi
There may be better ways to soak up the New England history and culture, but it was cold at 6 a.m., the roads were more like tunnels through the plowed snow … and the only thing I found open was Dunkin Donuts. I’ll bite.
49er Pings: Ups, Downs Of San Francisco Wi-Fi
December 5th, 2010 · Tags: Airports · Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
Driving into San Francisco headed north on the 101, after crossing the Bay on the 92W bridge from Hayward, Calif., I came across the storied Candlestick Park. The Stick — home of so many legends — Joe Montana, Steve Young, to name two of the most obvious examples from ’49ers lore. There are a Lott […]
Final Thoughts On ‘Down In New Zealand” — Wi-Fi Wrap Up
November 5th, 2010 · Tags: Arts · Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
In this the final installment of the Down In New Zealand series, I must start by getting several things off my chest. First of all, New Zealand, you should seek new PR/marketing counsel! There are so many wonderful things and places — at least on the South Island where I toured — that I think […]
San Angelo Journalism & West Texas Wi-Fi: Not Too Baaa-ad
September 23rd, 2010 · Tags: Arts · Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
In my formative years, my best friend’s dad owned a community newspaper — The Enterprise. Another friend owns that very publication today. Leon, the editor then, not only wrote the most biting pieces in the paper, he also snapped photos of the football team and the track girls, in between selling advertisements and subscription renewals […]
Highrise Wi-Fi: PingWi-Fi PingThing From Omnipresent Hotspot
September 6th, 2010 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Hotels
Typically when I review a Wi-Fi hotspot, it is a solo act … I mean, it would have been quite difficult to take the PingWi-Fi gypsy caravan entourage on the PWF tour, which now includes 47 states, 65 cities, 30,000 miles, hundreds of Wi-Fi hotspots and several cups of coffee. So … my one goal […]
Wi-Fi Enchantment — Pinging Taos Pueblo And Its Peeps
August 19th, 2010 · Tags: Arts · Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
“Are you an Indian?” Let me start by saying I have the greatest respect for Native American peoples — both for their enduring the invasion of their homeland, and for their ability to take dusty reservation land and turn it into ski resorts, billion-dollar casinos, oil/gas well bonanzas, art and more … I get all […]
