Power to Stay Connected

by Angela on August 19, 2008

Current circumstances at my house are a reminder of the benefits of having a smartphone, mine being a Blackberry. The power is out once again at my house. There went the always-on high speed broadband internet connection.

Although I have the ability to connect my laptop to the internet using my Blackberry as a modem, I haven’t yet explored that feature. It’s now an item at the top of my to-do list.

So, how did I write this without power on my computer, you ask. By way of my Blackberry. Thank goodness for the Qwerty keyboard. Otherwise, I’d just have to wait until the power is restored to post this.

I typed it up using the Memo Pad on my BB and then copied and pasted this content into a “write post” window after signing into my blog admin via my browser on my BB.

Ahhh, wouldn’t you know the moment I finish preparing this for publication the power is restored. Gawd, I love power and technology.
