Posting from 30,000 feet!

I'm on the way home from MO via Atlanta. While boarding the plane in Atlanta, they were giving away cards good for free in flight wifi. Seems to be working fairly well. Flight's bumpy as hell though.

Haha, I was going to call bollocks on you if you said you were using your mobile phone over the cellular network.

One of the first things I did when I got my cell phone was try and use it in a plane.

Boy did that not go over too well. No signal up there

Who's the airline? Every flight I go on never has it.

Back home now. The airline was Delta. They seem to have the wifi even on their commuter jets. I got the mifi the day after it came out. Came in very handy at the conference hotel this week as the wifi there seemed to be up and down and my presentation involves a live connect to a server.
