ONCE AGAIN I’M WIRELESS-BLOGGING FROM THE MELLOW MUSHROOM on campus. The wireless access here is excellent. I’m just a bit early to meet a friend and thought I’d check it out with my new NEC ultralite laptop. I bought it on closeout dirt cheap, using your PayPal donations. (Thanks! And, as you can see, you’re rewarded, if that’s the word, with more blogging!) I don’t think I’d want it as my main computer, or even my main laptop, because it’s little. On the other hand, it weighs 3 pounds, and the screen even works in bright daylight. It’s not quite blogging from a Palm, but it’s awfully damn portable even compared to the Toshiba laptop that I usually use. And as Dave Winer recently observed about cameras, one you have with you is a lot better than one you don’t.

I plan to spend a little time this summer blogging from various wi-fi enabled spots in town. They seem to be springing up like, er, mushrooms.
