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 [...]

“Carried Away” — Good Dose Of Life’s Ailments At Dallas Film Festival
April 12th, 2010 · Tags: Arts · Cities · Coffee Shops · Wi-Fi
A few days before the Dallas International Film Festival began, I met this dude in Starbucks in Fort Worth, over by the hospital district. We talked for a second or two and then I drove over to his car in the parking lot. Somehow, I was able to control my Toyota and [...]
Through The Magic Of Wi-Fi … I Am Watching You
March 28th, 2010 · Tags: Cities · Hotels · Satire · Wi-Fi
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 [...]
Have Guitar (And Wi-Fi), Will Travel — SXSW
March 21st, 2010 · Tags: Arts · Cities · Wi-Fi
“Just a song before I go …” Ha … Austin streets were deserted this morning … prolly the biggest hangover day of the year, as SXSW festival ends. I bet there are not very many people who could stomach the Texas-shaped waffles back at the hotel this morning. I digress …
As I walked, waffled-powered that [...]
Flaming Lips Play Unplugged-ish At Denton’s NX35 Showcase
March 15th, 2010 · Tags: Arts · Cities · Uncategorized · Wi-Fi
From the get-go, let me say that the Wi-Fi network at the Flaming Lips concert in Denton, Texas was sub-standard … because there wasn’t one.
No worries. Most of the audience was toting 3G and 4G phones … and I think their messages were mainly photos and “look at me at the Flaming Lips concert” [...]
ArtReach — Revealing What We Know Of Another Dimension, True Creativity
March 1st, 2010 · Tags: Arts · Wi-Fi
To fund the PingWi-Fi travel blog, I also do dirty gigs in the disaster recovery industry … with much less fanfare than the “Dirty Jobs” guy on TV — I might add. Each trip gives me some pretty good stories to blog from the road … cuts … bruises … etc. But, a recent [...]
Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive (Toyotas) Engaged, Unless It’s Wi-Fi
February 26th, 2010 · Tags: Satire · Wi-Fi
Years ago I read this funny quip. I think it was in Reader’s Digest … man I used to love me some R’s-D … what with things like “I Am Joe’s Pancreas” and stuff like that … I digress.
Anyway, some reader related a true story about a car swerving through traffic … prolly a [...]
Phat Tuesday On Southwest, Should Have Been Wi-Fi
February 16th, 2010 · Tags: Airports · Satire · Wi-Fi
I was flying on Southwest Airlines recently when I experienced one of those conundrums … or maybe a good news/bad news scenario.
Who don’t like sum good news first: The good news — there was an excellent Wi-Fi , wireless network available — boasting of speeds greater than 54.0 Mbps.
The bad news — film director, [...]
They Used To Call This ‘Getting Ink’ … Among Other Things
February 10th, 2010 · Tags: Airports · Wi-Fi
It may surprise you that I don’t particularly like self promotion.
However, PingWi-Fi.com has two staffers … so you do the math. Like it or not, I have to go out and tell people that I can be somewhat interesting … sometimes … when I am not totally boring which is probably most of the time. [...]
Wi-Fi Pickins - Slim; City Museum Requires Gut Check
February 4th, 2010 · Tags: Arts · Cities · Wi-Fi
Have you seen that show “American Pickers” on The History Channel?
By the way, the first of my three trips across America was as PR guy for the The History Channel sponsored “The Great Race.”
I digress …
Back on track … Pickers, right … Two guy travel the country in a huge foreign -looking monster of a [...]
