Posting from my iPhone from Florida. No free wifi in the immediate area. It's a real pain typing on the one-finger touch screen. I wrote sometime back how the iPhone needed a dockable folding keyboard... and this is one of those times when it would be perfect. But from what I could ascertain, Apple has prevented 3rd party keyboard makers from selling iPhone-compatible keyboards.
The other irritant is that AT&T that provides service for the iPhone, including the Internet connectivity, won't let the iPhone serve as an Internet connection for my laptop. Given that I pay for that connectivity for both my iPhone and at home with AT&T U-verse, I'm peeved that I don't have a decent traveling option for my laptop... and the so-called free wifi service at scattered points around the US is nothing but PR fluff.
Oh well. It's Florida and February, so I'll get over this AT&T - Apple stupidity.
A couple of observations during the drive....
The Western Kentucky Parkway gave a brief glimpse of how bad the ice storm must have been. 100 miles ... more ... of broken forests. As if a giant helicopter hovered over the trees and pushed branches of large trees from their normal pointing to the sky to pointing to the ground. Smaller trees were shredded or flattened. Large convoys of trucks carrying clearing equipment and trailers to haul away debris lined the highway.
Another thought: if Obama wants to start public works efforts, start with road construction in Michigan which has to have the worst roads in the eastern US.
More hunting and pecking later.
