What is it with me and hotel rooms? I just blogged about an uninvited guest entering my hotel room in Santa Cruz and waking me from a really good dream. A year earlier, I intruded on a loving couple when I entered MY room. It was too much 411 that I am glad stayed in [...]

April 22nd, 2010 · Tags: Cities · Hotels · Restaurant · Wi-Fi
This is my best Earth Day, in like forever — especially since I don’t remember celebrating the previous 39 events. This ED was special … so special that a stranger walked into my hotel room this morning to share it with me. He woke me up after my all-night stint, cleaning soot from [...]
PingWi-Fi, Keeping Austin UnWired At SXSW
March 31st, 2010 · Tags: Coffee Shops · Hotels · Satire · Sports · Uncategorized
My first Wi-Fi road trip — an 18,000-mile excursion a few years earlier — wrapped up in Austin with a quick visit to the Wi-Fi Alliance world headquarters and another music festival.
So, Austin’s recent SXSW festival was not my first rodeo, but it certainly wasn’t the end of the road either. And frankly this [...]

It is a magical day at PingWi-Fi. Through the magic that is Facebook, I know that I have a friend/colleague who is working in Santiago, Chile. Ha! If he would sign up for Gowalla or FourSquare, I could tell you what restaurants he frequents. What I can tell you is that [...]

When you travel alone you always think of the joke at restaurants: “Bitter … table for one!”
Well … when I scheduled my last meal in Louisville, I had nothing on my mind but “bison — table for one.”

Have you seen the film “Saving Private Ryan?”
There is a scene where Tom Hanks and his infantry cohorts by the side of the road are digging through a stack of hundreds, if not thousands, of WWII dogtags … to determine if Private Ryan is already among the dead. The group realizes they are looking [...]

This dirty job gig in Louisville has gone on so long, the place seems like home. I work 10-12 hours a day in the disaster recovery industry and then hit my favorite L-Ville coffee shop (Quills) … repeat.
But, luck of the draw, last weekend was my turn to take off a day. And [...]

The commercial launch for PingWi-Fi.com was in November, a press conference hosted by San Francisco International Airport, but we have been up and running the blog for one year now.
How we doin?
Well, at the get-go, I said that I would consider the first year a success if we attended one and only one event … [...]
Chillin In Wi-Fi Ville, Doing Bourbon Trail

The first two nights out on the town in Louisville included a threesome of young women for a good cause … And the second night out included a concert on the banks of The Ohio River featuring Cracker.
Batting a thousand here in Sluggerville, if I don’t say so myself.
But … how about a Wi-Fi roundup? [...]
