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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
New Year’s Eve has never been a big deal for me, even back in the day when I was more fun. Ha … one year I decided to play it safe, and sat around a table with friends playing a board game. Then, all of the sudden, some guy kicked the door in [...]
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 [...]
Hmmm … can I write a blog in the time it takes Toyota of Fort Worth to inspect my Toyota Highlander? You know, one of the vehicles deemed unsafe by the Chevrolet/Obama administration, publicized all over page 1 in the press and then exonerated in the back of the newspapers a few months late … [...]
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 [...]
So imagine you walk into a cafe to enjoy a fine meal and you look over and the guy beside you has a ponytail and he is playing with fire at his table.
What will you do? What will you do?
Ha. That is exactly what a young couple at Cosi saw when they grabbed [...]
Walking around lower Manhattan reminded me of my first few trips to NYC. Over the years, I have had big times in NYC. I met Spike Lee. One night my friend was stabbed on a subway. I met Dr. Ruth. One day my hotel was set afire by a pyromaniac. [...]
“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 [...]
