Bus Wi-Fi, Now A Reality
Last January, I posted an entry from a parked bus. Internet access came from a hotspot outside the bus. Well, according to this, buses in our area will soon get wi-fi access from within. The East Bay transit agency wants “professionals, those with laptops, traveling through the Bay to have better use of their time, rather than looking at traffic.” Pretty cool, eh? One other thing they should provide, however, is a good supply of Dramamine in each of the buses’ first-aid kits.

Off topic, but how are you finding WordPress so far vs. MT? I’m thinking of converting. Also, have you heard about WordPress.com (not dot org). It seems to be a hosted service ala Typepad by invite only ala Gmail.

WordPress is good. The customization that I’ve been meaning to do on my blog I put off for now so I can’t really say how the two systems compare in that department.
I just read about WordPress.com. Yup, it’s Typepad-like, as far as I can tell. But you’ve got your own blog host, don’t you?
Before you switch though, you might want to take a look at MT 3.2 first. Willie Galang can’t wait to get his hands on it.

I would never dare get my laptop out on a bus!!

Thanks for your input, Daniel! Maybe upgrading to MT 3.2 is easier than switching to WP. For me, at least! I just like the WP templates — I think the layout I made is not compliant or is funky in some way.
