Barnes & Noble are currently undergoing a beta of their wi-fi technology. It's pretty sweet that I'm surrounded by so much information all at once. Try it out while it's under beta since it's free. I don't expect it to be free for long since Starbucks is teaming with T-Mobile to provide hotspot access at their locations for a hefty price of $30 per month.

In the meantime, take note of the fact that even truckers are getting in on the action. I remember driving cross-country and spending nights with the car parked in truck stops. I've often romanticized the notion of living on one extended road trip, and so it was cool to find out that one of my friends from Tech, Rebecca, and her husband are doing exactly that.

if I were to do a roadtrip, I would try and make sure it was in a big Buick or Cadillac. It just seems so... so... American!
