in the wild

Aug 06, 2011 18:00

My first foray into wifi in the wild was successful. I got a gift card for Starbucks the other day (for doing the audit for the network ads - at least some good comes out of those dratted things!), so I took Daphne (did I mention that 'Daphne' was the winner in the poll?) and headed down there for a nice decaf mocha and some surfing.

I downloaded iTunes, so I can use my own computer to sync my iPod instead of my work one. Which means I have to load all my tunes again, but I can do that while I watch TV or something.

Then I downloaded the latest version of Firefox, because the one on there was old and wouldn't show me G+.

Then I downloaded the Verizon software, so maybe I can get online with her at home. It would be nice to be able to make snarky comments online while I'm watching something on a station I can't get in the bedroom. *g*

I found out that Staples and McDonald's (both across the street from Starbucks) also have wifi hotspots. Nice to know where they are in town, in case I ever need one and don't feel like paying four bucks for a coffee.

I feel kinda badly that I'm missing the coven Lammas tonight, and the Lammas Faire tomorrow, but my car needs a new tire and it's not in the budget this week. Also, it's supposed to rain tomorrow. So I'll stay home and do something creative instead.

What are you up to this weekend?
