IF you know me or read the PingWi-Fi blog, you know “we luvs us some boba tea.” Hmmm … it is pretty scarce here in Thailand … even more scarce than Wi-Fi. I finally found some boba vendors — in this case, maybe boba-teers — in Ayutthaya on the sidewalk, in the outdoor market [...]

My Hotel Has Wi-Fi … At Least ‘That’s What She Said”
December 29th, 2011 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
The first time I started a blog about Wi-Fi back in ‘03, most people thought it was pretty interesting — especially this new thing called “Wi-Fi.” So, I explored … found a hotspot here and there … shared anecdotes … blah, blah. blah.
My passion continues today — seeking out wireless and mixing in [...]
Ping A Gong, Get It On — Cyber Cafe West In Binghamton, NY
October 28th, 2011 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
“I’m not the owner, I just act like it,” said the ponytailed guy in the tie-dyed shirt behind the counter of Binghamton, New York’s Cyber Cafe West.
So what if he wasn’t? He introduced himself and shook my hand, as if he owned the place. Nice guy. I hope he doesn’t mind if I [...]
Andy’s Right! Cornell U Rock My Wi-Fi World
October 23rd, 2011 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
Although the Dirty Gig has me STILL working on the bi-products of the recently flooded Susquehanna River, first in Harrisburg, Penn., and now Binghamton, New York, I continue to navigate my own tributary … The Office stream of consciousness.
At this writing, I am in Ithaca, as The Office trek, or TOK, continues (an hour north [...]
What The Funk Dunkin? No Wi-Fi In Hyphenville

Wilkes-Barre, Penn., … pronounced like Wilksbury … I just learned is the boyhood home of swing musician Tommy Dorsey. Good to know. It is also the jumping off point on the road to Scranton … you know Scranton, the fictitious home of the branch office of Dunder Miflin paper company … you know [...]
Sweet Wi-Fi And Me — A Chocolaty Mess
October 4th, 2011 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
There are two things I want to see the most while in Pennsylvania … well three if you count the National Civil War Museum. The other two are a tale of two meltdowns. One is Three Mile Island, and the other is the Hershey’s chocolate plant. Four things I would like to see, actually, but [...]
NOW SHOWING In Annville: Free Wi-Fi (Popcorn Extra)
October 1st, 2011 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
What a treat … In Annville, Penn., just down the street from Lebanon Valley College is the Allen Theater and the adjoining MJ’a Coffeehouse At The Allen. The Wi-Fi, my featured event, is quite good, free, and trouble-free. When was the last time you sat in a cool coffee shop that also sells [...]
Wi-Fi Worldly Influence In Amish Country? You Bet!

Cravings for the Wi-Fi world seem almost sacrilegious out and about in Lancaster, Penn., — the heart of Amish Country. But it what we do.
Sometimes Wi-Fi Takes Back Seat To Live Music — Harrisburg
September 17th, 2011 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
One of my very best college friends is from Harrisburg, Penn. I haven’t talked to him or even been able to locate him for 20 years … even with the help of the all-powerful, all-knowing Facebook. Wouldn’t it be strange if I ran into him on the street during my visit to The Quaker [...]
Klatch — A Great Wi-Fi Catch, In Historic Cucamonga Yo!
August 30th, 2011 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
RAN-CHO …. KOOK-a-MONGA!
Rancho Cucamonga … Say it aloud. “Rancho Cucamonga.” If you are old enough to remember back when David Letterman was still funny and cutting edge, he used to pause and just say funny sounding words for comic effect.
“Rancho Cucamonga.” Perhaps a missed opportunity, Dave.
So, yes, I was cruising Rancho Cucamonga today, [...]
