The value of hotel WiFi
It now seems that hotel WiFi is the norm with many places I stay having free access. However, sometimes even at free, it just isn't worth it. At times, the speed can be so slow and problematic that it is more frustrating than anything to use. Up until May, I had a Sprint MiFi 3G router, so having poor hotel WiFi wasn't an issue and for the most part, I didn't even use the hotel WiFi. However, it is now important if I have any hope of getting something done in my hotel room.

Review: The Oona
When I work, I put my iPhone on my desk next to my computer. Sometimes I pick it up or use it to make a phone call and thought that having a stand for it would be it more convenient. There are lots of stands out there and I didn't get around to buying in until I saw a Kickstarter project called The Oona. I thought it looked neat and pledged some money towards it. The cost was a little expensive, but I was willing to give it a try.

Finding the right earbuds
I've used the earbuds that came with the iPods, iPhone, etc. for a long time and have been generally pleased with them. However, they just aren't very reliable. I got one pair replaced in June because one side failed. This was a pair that I just used for phone calls and occasionally listening to music. I didn't mistreat them, they just stopped working.

Hell has frozen over
Earlier this year, a friend of mine that I've known for over 15 years told me that he bought an iPad. Normally I'd think nothing of it, but this friend has been writing Windows code (Windows desktop, mobile, embedded) for a long time and never came close to a Mac or Apple products. Then in October, he told me he got an iPhone 4S after liking his iPad. Oh no, what was next?
