Real world EDGE speeds at our new place
So I’ve yet to get the Cable service hooked up yet, and we’ve been using my MDA’s EDGE connection for Internet access. Overall, I’ve been happy with the speeds I get with my EDGE connection, one time peaking at 200kbps - quite fast compared to my old phone’s (Nokia 6600) 40kpbs.
At our new home [...]
Getting back into music
I’m easing my way back… For quite awhile I’ve really shied away from listening to tunes while I work, don’t really know why. One thing I do know is that I’ve been really turned off by the quality and variety of music available in the last decade. I’m not a fan of the current trend [...]
MSFP available for Verizon XV6700

Snowmoblog
Alright, I finally went and did it this past weekend. I’ve gone ahead with my idea of creating a snowmobiling focused blog, called Snowmoblog.

Missed Opportunity
You may not know this but I’m a sledhead (snowmobiler). So I watched the 2007 model webcast for Polaris, and I have to admit that I’m a little disappointed. Last year I was eyeing up the 700 Classic, but it’s disappeared from the lineup for ‘07. Instead, they’ve got the 600 HO IQ LX CFI [...]
Shadow Divers
Picked up a book last week that I have not been able to put down. Its called Shadow Divers, and is about those two divers on the History Channel’s “Deep Sea Detectives“. This is an exciting book, its a non-fiction work that details the discovery and investigation of a unknown WWII U-boat off the New [...]
Cable to compete with Muni WiFi
An article over at The Wireless Report covers some new developments in the Cable vs. municiple wireless “battle”. There are some efforts being pursued by CableLabs (an industry trade group) where they investigate competing in the wireless space.
