call me a name

So, it was 12:48am eastern time. Jason and I sat at a coffee shop/bar type thing that has couches, beer, and free wifi during the day. I say during the day to setup my story. Jason and I decided to get out of my apartment and come to this coffee shop to click around and maybe grab a drink (me a beer and jason some weird fruit juice junk). We got here and the coffee shop turned trendy bar in a matter of hours. Whatever—we thought. Found a seat, sat down, powered up our laptops, and searched for internet. To our surprise we found none. Jason quickly got up and asked the worker what the story was… “Umm.... the internet is shut off here at 8pm” - jason comes back and gives me the story. I sat here and searched some more. All the while, jason has packed up his newly purchased ibook. All of a sudden a lightbulb BLEW UP in my head and I told jason to fire his daddy back up. “dude, what are you talking about - we don’t have any signal in this spot” - come on man, just fire her back up. So he did and I told him to connect to my powerbook. You see, what has happened is wireless geek magic. I remembered that I could connect to my treo 650 via bluetooth (wireless) and use the internet service that it has natively, I then shared out my bluetooth internet connection to my wireless internet card to jason’s laptop. So there we were, me pulling an internet connection from my phone in my coat pocket and re-broadcasting it to jason wirelessly who was sitting 2 feet away. The connection was slow, but we sure showed them when the damn internet shuts off in this place.
