California Meeting Bound
I'm sitting here in CLE waiting for my flight to San Francisco via Chicago O'Hare. I'm hoping to miss all the weather excitement that's been forecast for Cleveland. As a bonus the Bay Area has been having unseasonably warm weather!Another thing I'm trying is to use the iPad as the primary way for me to communicate with the world. I had the Asus EeePC as a backup, but I'm going to try to rely on this for all my personal stuff. (Yes, I also have my el-crappy work laptop in tow as well.)This'll be the real test for how well the ZAGG/mate will work out. I can tell you right now that typing on it is substantially faster than with the virtual keyboard. Another great advantage is that I get to use the screen on portrait mode and have the normal keyboard. (The virtual keyboard in portrait mode is next to useless to any serious typing)I got to say that just having the ambient connectivity is amazing!Another fun diversion that I'm bringing along is the ICOM IC-92AD handheld transceiver. Let's see if I can hit a repeater out there... maybe even a D-Star one! :-) Does anyone know of any nets that happen out there? (I'll be in Foster City to be specific)When I land in ORD I think I'll put in the order for the ham gear. I've been putting it off for the least minute for no good reason, but I think I'm running out of minutes to do anything at this point.
