Today while trying to access the internet from the middle of the Caribbean, the ship’s server went down and with it my plans for posting here.

Light Posting

I am on vacation and it seems writing blog posts while trying to vacation presents a direct conflict of interest.

Blogging From The Middle Of The Caribbean

Technology continues to advance.

I am posting this along with the photo from the middle of the Caribbean using my MacBook Pro.

I placed my first call from the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean in 2005 from the deck of the Queen Mary 2 using Skype and my previous Mac laptop.

Today I placed my first Google Voice call from my gmail account from the ship’s satellite based wi-fi network.

It this doesn’t illustrate how connected and digital the world is – I don’t know what does.

Preparing To Travel

December 18, 2010

Dear Subscriber,

I have posted here every single day this year even while on family vacations in Cancun and California.

Its vacation time again!

While I will still post daily, don’t expect much other than casual observations from the road or should I say sea for the next ten days.
