Today I received the new Cradlepoint PHS-300 I ordered. This is a phenominal device. It is a personal WiFi router that allows you to plug in your EVDO or HDSPA (3G) broadband USB modem into it and then share that connection with up to 16 WiFi devices. You can also use your cell phone as a tethered modem to provide the 3G connectivity. You can connect to the WiFi with either 802.11b or 802.11g and includes a complete NAT with SPI firewall. It features 64/128 bit WEP, WPA/WPA2, and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK encryption and supports all operating systems and PDAs with WiFi support. It also includes a Lithium-Ion battery for up to 3 hours of use (ships with an AC adapter but you can also purchase a car-adapter to charge it as well). I use it to connect my MacBook Pro and iPhone on the road allowing me to utilize the faster 3G network with the iPhone. The best of all worlds.

Genoco has developed an iPhone app that could change the way we buy our Starbucks coffee, if not all future purchases. If this does get picked up by Starbucks, I’ll be spending much more on my coffee fix!

I just heard the premier episode of TWIP (This Week in Photography). It was an awesome podcast! Its the latest production from pro photographer Scott Bourne and digital video expert Alex Lindsay. You can check out their site at TWIPPhoto (twipphoto.com). For a link to Scott’s bird photography site, go to Avian Photography.

I am back.  Been out for about a month due to a scheduled surgery.  All is well and thanks to all for their kind words and prayers…  Now back to the daily grind
