Just a quick note, with more thoughts on Thai Wi-Fi yet to come. My buddy Steve and I sampled the Sheraton Krabi Beach Resort, last night, and this afternoon we have found ourselves in paradise.
Do you remember the wedding scene and the beautiful scenery from the movie “The Hangover Part 2?” We are at [...]
Since my arrival in Thailand, friends have been offering up suggested “soundtracks” for the visit. The most frequent, probably pretty obvious, “One Night In Bangkok.” But one friend dug a little deeper, back to the days of vinyl and mentioned “A Passage To Bangkok” by Canadian power trio Rush.
I concur.
Briefly, I quote Rush, [...]
On New Year’s Eve in Bangkok, my buddies and I felt a little more secure when we saw a huge police presence throughout the city, particularly in the downtown area, where — with a cast of hundreds of thousands — we would ring in 2012.
Ha! We now know that there were terrorist rumblings about [...]

My passion continues today — seeking out wireless and mixing in [...]
When I signed up to help with flooding recovery in Thailand, my thoughts immediately went to the bright lights of Bangkok — the modern, international city and the well-known seamy dark side as well — an adventure … mystique.
However, as I got more details, my assignment was actually in Ayutthaya City, an hour and a [...]
Sawasdee!
If you were to visit the headquarters of PingWi-Fi, you would find an eclectic setting — a tale of two reality TV shows … a hybrid somewhere between “Pickers” and “Horders.” We collect it. We stack it. We do funny things with it.
The first sign of this condition is a tiny scale [...]
When I was a kid in tiny dustville, most of us small-town kids played all the major sports. But baseball was special … baseball was our very first taste of competition, with uniforms and everything.
Our dads got together and created a league of four teams from three towns. Four teams. And to [...]
