Wi-Fi SymbolTraveling and need to find a free Wi-Fi for your laptop, iPhone, etc. The link below is a good resource for finding some free Wi-Fi/Hotspot. It’s in no way comprehensive. I know of at least two free Wi-Fi hotspots over at Brier Creek that it’s not listing.

It’s a good starting resource though, especially in an unfamiliar area:

CSSDid you thank a web designer/developer today? I would have participated in CSS Naked day here at Keefer Madness, had I known about it earlier. There’s always 2009. CSS Naked day basically is a day to embrace standard is web markup – XHTML, good structure, etc. I definitely want to participate for their third year, cause my job is all about – CSS, XHTML, table-less design, etc.

Go Heels*sigh* I hate this time of year in terms of sports. NCAA basketball is over, and you start hearing the swirling rumors of who is jumping ship for the NBA. After the 2005 season when the Heels won their last championship was particularly painful.

As a baby blue-blooded Tar Heel, I obviously hope the whole team returns, but really hoping Tyler and Ellington come back for the 2008-09 season. I tend to agree with the Tar Heel Fan blog’s assessment of the likelihood of that and other scenarios.

Waiting For The Other Shoe To Drop

Gears of War LogoSo the article linked below gives a bunch of info and it sounds like they’re going to make a bunch of improvements.

Hopefully they’ll work on the multiplayer modes as well – making it easier to match up with people of the same skill level, and not giving so much advantage to the person hosting the game. I can’t wait for this one to be released later this year.

I personally like these features they revealed:

Gears 2 will have different difficulty settings for each player in co-op. One person can play on Hardcore, one on Casual, for instance. When you are together, the game will understand what that means, and when you split up, you will have individual experiences. Details on how this works exactly are under wraps.

Drop in and drop out co-op.

Many Achievements will be able to be earned in Single or Multiplayer. You can check for instance, if you need 1,000 headshots, you can look at your progress in the journal.
