QNC hack (1/20/10)

No WiFi at this location in B'klyn.  Laptop connected to the Internet via Bluetooth, which is connected to my phone, which has dialed a number in McKinleyville, CA. Data speed is only 11 kbs, but there is no airtime, data charge, or plan. 

Whether this stunt is considered high-tech or ice-age depends on your birth date and/or income.

Confessions of a Facebook addict:  To function at this miserable speed, I am using the Opera Mini java phone browser, and posting to the Facebook Mobile website. But instead of running Opera on the phone, I'm running it full-screen on the laptop (via an emulator).  Same bandwidth.  Sick, huh?
