Settled in, and ready to roll

Finally got my car back after a harrowing 8 hours of walking around in unusually hot weather, and now I’m safe and snug at my hotel somewhere in Lake George, New York. Now with my car maintenance out of the way, I can finally move forward and begin expanding my traveling budget, which is largely…

Living without a GPS

Despite my eternal love of gadgetry, I didn’t own my first cellphone until 2003. I remember before getting one I was always thinking, “I don’t need a cell phone, it’s not like anyone would call me since I don’t have any friends, wah wah wah…” But then I finally got one and now I can’t…

Lessons learned from vacationing with an iPod

I’m on the last leg of my vacation trip, and finally have some time to sit down and reflect on my experiences so far, especially when it comes to blogging about it all. Rather than use an iPhone (which are not hearing aid compatible and relies on the crappy AT&T network), I went with the…
