Now this is weird. First, let me say that I like little strange coincidences, that I am often accused of near superstition. Here’s a great example. The other day I blogged about nothing … and it turned into a long drawn out tale, culminating with namedropping “Gulliver’s Travels.” Ha! A few days later, I boarded […]

I won’t lie, in college there were a few days when i walked out of my dorm room, apartment, house, whatever and had no clue about the whereabouts of my car. Those days are gone. These days, as I mature, it is more like I notice any strange vehicles parked near the place where I […]

What can one say about 18 hours in a plane? I mean, it is pretty cool crossing the International Dateline and skipping a day. But that long in any confined space is cruel and unusual … Thank goodness I knew what to expect when I stepped on board my first connection on the way back […]

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 … […]

At the time I left Boston, the plan was for me to return. That has changed. So this blog closes that chapter. Bummer … In this heightened security era, of course I was at Boston’s Logan International Airport a couple of hours before my flight … and yes, I fired one up. A laptop, not […]

The Dirty Gig continues in the Boston area, with day trips throughout the state and over into Connecticut counteracting the effects of flooding.

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 […]

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.

Today the PingWF team headed north for an assignment in Boston. It is one of those “Dirty Gig” things I do on the side, to fund this ongoing search for all things Wi-Fi. My first Wi-Fi sojourn took me to Boston in 2004 and I was not disappointed. I can only imagine how many hotspots […]
