Hour five of travels and we're somewhere over the west coast. Decided to pass the time in the cab by working on a blog post on the iPad. Shaun's been using his droid x for podcasts to pass the time.
I'm actually surprised how easy it is to use mobile tech to keep track of traveling. Within minutes of touching down in Dallas, we found out if our plane was on time, where we could go for food, and made posts to various social networks to reassure those thoroughly worried about us actually making the flight that we were doing just fine. For the record: airplane mode means I CANNOT make texts out or surf. Bless the notepad ability on this. The keyboard is actually easy to use too.
Sitting on the plane with this kind of tech makes me about something Jim had us write on last week about the amount of usefulness that mobile technology offers. For traveling's sake, I have to say the smart phone is a MUST HAVE. I kind of wish we would have been able to get on a plane with wifi enabled to check that ability out too. With the way they pack everyone into airplanes like sardines into cans (I might be going overboard a little, then again, I am a little claustrophobic.) the mobile tablet is a good thing to have. And with the game development for mobile, it is a great way to pass the time up here.
I might start working on character profiles for the storyboarding project that I'm working on after I get back from the Expo. God, the amount of work that I have waiting for me when I get back home! Must be looking forward to the rest of this week and getting to talk to gaming industry members about sending in my application before I graduate. Will post this and more misadventures when we finally land....
