Currently in the car on a 16 hour drive and it ocurred to me that I could use my phone as a modem for my laptop. Too lazy to get it working now but I know how to do it. More importantly I realized I could just use my phones network directly (read: tl now with me at all times). There goes my social life I guess >.< sighhhh

I swear my productivity level just got 5pooled ggnore

looking forward to the new year with ya, tl =P

Yup yup! Of course there are hardware requirements (Bluetooth capabilities or a direct USB connection) but as phones get better and better I'm sure they'll all meet said requirements. For example iPhones are capable as are blackberries along with most new laptops.

Also just realized I misspelled rub roh in my blog title... Lol I guess that's a downside to this, the horribly unmanAnagable tiny phone keyboard

edit: doh! I did it again it's RUH roh >.<

I always knew about this, it's especially easy with blackberries (which have DSL like internet). I tried to figure it out with my razr once but i didn't have an internet plan and assumed that it would cost minutes and/or would be slow like 56k etc. And probably cost more money or huge fees.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

You better make sure your Phone plan has decent bandwith allowances... lots people who thought they had free internet have gotten hit with $300k cellphone bills at the end of the month.
