Technology Challenge Postponed

So thinking about it, I'm leaving town next week and will not be able to lug a heavy iMac G3 around. Also, I'll only have an air card or my iPad 3G where I'm at. So June 1st, the Technology Challenge begins!

Caved

I managed to get a 3G iPad recently and have been doing some light work with it, and despite my initial comments about my netbook being so much better...well, I haven't been using my netbook. For most of the reasons I use a netbook, it has been replaced by the iPad. You win this round Apple!

Jailbreak?

As implied in my New iPhone post, I no longer have a need for my old iPhone. My wife is using it right now until she's due for an upgrade and then she'll get an iPhone 3Gs as well. This leaves me with an unused iPhone. What to do? I think I'm finally going to dip into the jailbreak world and see what that is like. I've never really needed it as I can do most things I need to on my current iPhone, but curiosity is getting the better of me. Will it end up as a brick? We'll see.

Workless Weekend

So over the weekend, I visited some family in Idaho. And when I say Idaho, I mean rural Idaho. This helped me realize my reliance on technology. I can't work as efficiently without internet access which should be obvious since I work on websites and my email is web based. So in the small town I was visiting, I was lucky to get service at all. When I did, there was no 3G. Even in the slightly larger town nearby. At the hotel I was staying out, no internet access. So I was stuck to working on my iPhone on the Edge network and only at the hotel. Less than ideal circumstances to say the least. But I am back in the comfort of 3G everywhere, Wi-Fi when and where I need it, and no longer tethered to my phone to try and edit HTML.
