I'm Blogging from the Freeway!!

Thanksgiving Day - and here we are, ambling down the freeway at 55 (or less when the traffic slows), and I'm on the internet, updating our blog!!

We got our Wireless Broadband Card, a Kyocera KPC650 PC Card, and life on the road will never be the same! We don't have the external antenna and amplifier yet, but when we do, we should get cellular service up to 50 miles farther than normal from a tower, and when we aren't getting broadband (EVDO - "Evolution Data Only"), we will get National (1xrtt) service, which is like an old dial up connection speed-wise, but it's still a connection! All over southern California so far it has been broadband, which is pretty darn fast!

This weekend, if we get service, we will experiment with the wireless router, to see if we can both be on at the same time with our laptops. Of course, not while driving... he he.

I like being able to check email, blog, and surf while driving (well, passengering, anyway)! Need a map? Oh, let me just get a Google map of the area... Find a campground? Let me check one of the many online directories! Oh it's so useful, and much more fun than I usually am in the car - head nodding, drooling, snoring loudly... ha.
