So I finally broke down and signed up for a Verizon wireless broadband plan, complete with little USB wireless modem. As I've written a bunch of times, blogging is a pretty easy life but it isn't compatible with having other stuff to do. And travel, especially, is something it isn't compatible with. It's really not pleasant to spend one's life hunting for an open wireless connection. And even if I'm intending to take a bit of a break blogging wise, the email never stops and it's better for the sanity if I can check it fairly regularly.
So far so good. Plugged it in and was up and running pretty quickly. It's a bit more expensive than it should be (about $60/month I think), but I suppose it's a necessary expense.
