Next stop Seattle

Sitting in the Emeryville train station waiting for the 10:12 Amtrak from Emeryville to Seattle...and Steve Foster and I are sharing out the Sony Ericsson Aircard between my laptop connection .... so the two of us are sitting here ...me blogging him IMing to folks asking Steve ...why in the world is he taking the train when he could drive or fly there faster.. well mainly because I asked him to. 

I find that train travel is very relaxing and some of the routes even have WiFi...and well.. with the Aircard, we're sort of bringing our own.

Now if we could just figure out how to do streaming video of the season premier of Desparate Housewives we'd be all set......

Use ORB, http://www.orb.com/

It's free and it works well enough on a decent wi-fi connection.

I use the train whenever possible for intrastate travel because in some cases it is a faster way of getting to Miami from Orlando during the holiday season -- just a single car accident can delay you hours.

The amount of work that you can do on the train in nothing short of amazing and its much better than an airplane because you don't have to be there 2 hours early, wait 20 minutes to get on and get off the plane, walk through 3 terminals and trams to get to the parking lot. With Amtrak in most places you can drive up to the train itself.
