No doubt there are too many embarrassing moments and too much stuff I can’t repeat from SXSW Interactive. But, I figure why not share some details. In addition to finding great Wi-Fi at The Four Seasons, Garden District, The Driskil, Halcyon, Austin Java, Jo’s and more … here are the …

Austin Venturing Beyond SXSW — Wi-Fi Quest
March 16th, 2009 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Restaurant · Wi-Fi
Ok … I tried out a really cool coffee shop/cafe, right in the thick of things, near the SXSW show — Halcyon. Right off the bat, I learned how they keep up with the high rent — $3.50 for a n/a ginger beer. But it was good.
The King & Wi-Fi: Fast Food, Fast Connection
March 7th, 2009 · Tags: Restaurant · Satire · Wi-Fi
Don’t tell me there is nothing new in Wi-Fi. Today in Exton, Penn., I encountered the wireless wonder at a Subway and at The King’s place too. (So is Jared a computer geek, in addition to being a dork?) I am sure there are lots of SWs and BKs that have W-F, but I ain’t […]
San Francisco Wi-Fi Finale … The Ping Of California
November 24th, 2008 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Hotels · Restaurant
My visit to San Francisco began with a bang. San Francisco International Airport hosted a press conference, and then treated me to their T-Mobile HotSpot, one of the largest in the country. The press conference drew two TV stations, a radio reporter and several print journalists. Not bad. After someone finally took the microphone away […]
“Guns Up!” — Reality TV In San Francisco’s Union Square

This just in from the “Texas Tech representin hotline” … Ha … My last day in San Francisco, I decided what the heck, why not wear the Red Raider shirt. I can say with some certainty that I was the only guy in San Francisco wearing the double T for Tech. But, the shirt is […]
Padre Island Report — Signs Of Change, Wi-(F)i Bombs Make Waves

Well, it took exactly one and only one ocean wave to rip off my sunglasses — even though they were “tied on” my head with a brand new, Lifeguard-red croakie strap. Ha … That’s a good look! “Aye, the ocean she is angry and she has taken me rose colored spectacles to the deep, to […]

IF you find yourself stuck in an airport, and you have a Boingo membership for Wi-Fi … or T-Mobile … or whatever, I encourage you to spend some time with us and look through this site. There is much more than meets the eye, buried deep in the back pages.
ESPN Zone Wi-Fi: Don’t Tear Down Goalposts Just Yet
October 2nd, 2008 · Tags: Cities · Restaurant
In sports, on any given Sunday, the lowest ranking team might rise up and hand you your star quarterback’s head on a plate. Anything can happen. It’s why you play the game – fantasy or otherwise. In PR, it isn’t supposed to be that way. Every day, you are supposed to put your game face […]
How Much For That Laptop? Wi-Fi Tactics at St. Johns
September 15th, 2008 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Restaurant
The next day, I fired up the Wi-Fi Ford 250 Diesel, 4-wheel-drive, King Ranch edition and rolled toward Jacksonville for some urban trucking. But first, I ran across what must be the shopping mecca of north Florida, St. Johns Town Center. As I like to say, there was more Wi-Fi than you could shake a […]
