There have been countless times when I think of something that happened recently that I should blog about... but 100% of the time I'm sitting at work and unfortunately, blogger.com is blocked. There are other sub-par blog sites that I can access but... seriously - not even interested. Besides, I've been a loyal member here since like, 2004 (same as my AAA membership :).

Well today all that has changed! I was playing around with my pda and phone and laptop and connecting them all via Bluetooth...for no specific reason, just for fun. The laptop was connected to the phone and it gave me a list of Bluetooth functions it could perform. One of these was "modem". The first thing that came to mind was several months (maybe a year) ago Jake said something like, "Why don't you use your Blackberry as a modem for your computer?" To which I responded something more or less along the lines of, "that's a silly idea, impossible, where on earth did you come up with that, come back to me when you have a real idea." (Okay, I probably woulda been smacked if I said that, but like I said "more or less along the lines of"). Well after seeing "modem" in the Bluetooth functions list curiosity got the best of me and I stuck it into Google – this happens about 50 times a day, btw. Google is my friend. (some people at work sincerely think I should quit my job here and look for one in research simply because I can stick some keywords into Google) Search: "blackberry as modem vista" Well, long story short: I'm at work right now, on blogger.com. Like I told Curtis earlier, "does life get any better?" (well maybe if I had a character-by-character chat client). The Internet is everywhere. The possibilities are endless. The pool, Starbucks, on the road, wow. Most importantly though is the non-monitored access I now have at work so I can now access sites such as this one. :)

Oh yeah, this day definitely gets a two thumbs up!
