Pro re nata.

So the road trip to Omaha went fine. Sad to help close down an office that had coworkers that had been together for 27 years. Drive out was fine. Driving is much easier during the middle of the day. I'd actually forgotten what it's like. All those road trips for ultimate? Almost always Friday nights, and then Sunday afternoon/nights. On the way out used an iPhone App, NPR Finder, to find NPR stations as I worked my way across Illinois and Iowa. I was able to download and install the app while driving. Not only that, but I wanted something like this back in my Internet services class my senior year, but I imagined it as a web site companion for MapQuest, I had no idea that I'd be doing this from my cellular phone while driving in a car. What's crazy is that there was a guy in the class that had a cellular modem for his laptop. That was crazy. And this was before classrooms had wi-fi. Not only that, but on the way back i decided I wanted to listen to This American Life. So again, I downloaded and installed the app on my iPhone, then proceeded to stream and listen to multiple shows. All while driving. Seriously living in the future. Didn't feel like eating out by myself though. So just fast food for meals. Ended up coming back on Thursday, only really had to do work on Wednesday. So that's my first work trip. Hopefully it won't be a regular occurrence. On daddy day care this weekend, until Monday. No plans though for Independence day.

So glad it's back.
