Heading Back
by Andrew McCaskey
We are packing out for the trip back to the Midwest after six weeks more or less camped out at relatives in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.
Even this rural area has some surprises. Most notable of which was the growth in wideband availabilty over the past six months. While there were generally all sorts of adventures required to find wifi connections – particularly late at night after the coffee shops had shut down and businesses were closed, this trip things have changed.
First of all, the local cable company (was Adelphia, now Comcast) finally put in real two way broadband, replacing the overpriced RF down, telco line up that had been offered for years. New hardware and few subscribers mean’t lightning speeds for most of the time here.
The most amazing part was Sprint EVDO – which just arrived. Still limited to areas in the proximity of the interstate, it’s still killer when it works.
Good family times and good connectivity so that work can continue has been a good combination. Not much of a vacation, but a good change of pace. Plus, two great podcamps (even though expensive trips to Ohio and Boston) to keep in the swing of things, plus the New Media Expo coming up in just a few weeks.
