Online in the garage!?

[Bimati]

Well, I've heard a couple of you have done it, and it finally happened.

I was in the garage working on VX/bikes and wanted some music (no radio around) and I was working on a project that had me continually hopping online and referencing different threads.....having a Verizon aircard (wireless highspeed anywhere), I brought the laptop into the garage, hopped online and was:

1. Listening to decent music
2. Referencing project tools instructions and aids.
3. Being notified of new mail.
4. Able to IM buddies with questions.

All while working in the garage.

I can't decide if that makes me cool, dorky, or just tech addicted....

Can I get an "Amen" from my tech peeps....

Loard praise Baby Jesus...Amen

You don't have a wireless (802.11) card in your laptop? Sometimes we stream FOX shows over wireless to a laptop in the bedroom if we don't feel like watching the TV in the living room. Wow, I'm a big dork too then.

hah heres dorky for ya... when i was doing my rear door popper install, i hooked my laptop up to my video monitor so i had the instructions on that screen which was easier to see than trying to balance my laptop on the seat or putting it on the ground where itd get smooshed... since then ive added a wireless keyboard and mouse so that i can just use my indash monitor as my computer screen to use aim, surf the web etc (while parked of course..) makes it look like my VX has a built in computer

You see, its not like it used to be. Computers are in now, technology is hip, and its cool to be a nerd! So rock on.

PS - I once saw a shirt that said "I was uncool before uncool was cool". I should have bought it, since I have been a nerd all along...

Amen!

Last year I listened to most of Le Mans whilst working on my 2CV in the garage (project now aborted.. ) and I have this picture of me, well, tearing apart the deash' of the Yaris to fit a radar detector...
