Geekdom Is...

Being able to update LJ from a gasstation in who knows where Utah on a laptop with national wireless broadband access. Heh.

We're about 2-3 hours from Vegas right now, where we'll be staying overnight at the Aladdin hotel and casino. If we get in on time and can organise babysitting, we might even go see Cirque du Soleil's KA. Kit hasn't seen that yet, and PreZ always said that he'd go again the next time he was in Las Vegas, lol. But we'll have to get to Vegas first. We're encountering some icy and nasty conditions, as well as some snow in parts. At one point we saw a pick-up truck that had managed to flip itself onto its roof. Ouchie.

Tomorrow we head out to Los Angeles. Sadly we won't be able to meet up with strigoiimorte because he was heading to his family this morning, but we might be able to hook up with djbloodrose because she'll still be in the LA area. And of course, we get to see nadya_lev again, whee! I think she wants us to help her buy a bed at Ikea tomorrow. And why not, this has been a crazy trip anyway ;)

It's nice to at least not still be stuck in Breckenridge, though it's gorgeous there and we skied some lovely powder on one of the slopes yesterday afternoon. And it's a huge relief not to be stuck at Denver airport with thousands of hungry, tired, cranky and delayed travellers.

If you did it from a seperate laptop, you get maximum geek points. I hope all of you have a safe trip back to LA!

Nope, same laptop. While Kit did bring his, he doesn't have the Verizon wireless broadband access thing that PreZ has, and we weren't stopping long enough for him to try and find a free wireless signal.

I was wondering if Prez would have share or bridged the internet connection of the verizon broadband through an ad-hoc wifi networkto kit or even wired for maximum geek points.

I'm glad your "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" adventure is going well.

I considered it, but Kit also did not have a car laptop adapter, so he would be limited to his battery life - and he didn't bring his spare battery either.
