What’s in Pogue’s Travel Bag? Literally.
Great discussion of what a serious “road warrior” takes on the road. His “kit” is a lot simpler than what I used to carry and he makes no mention of a hard disk backup of his MacBook Air which I would never leave home without if I were presenting. Still, [...]

NTT Communications bringing WiFi to Japanese bullet trains in 2009
Wow, this is a great service and it will be very popular. If Amtrak did this maybe they could get people to ride. If Metro North did it that would really be spectacular. I’m not holding my breath.
