That blog sounds super interesting. I will check it. Thanks for letting me know.
True about WiFi. I have recentöy been checking out some places, and got discouranged when reading a review saying the WiFi didn't work for the person writing this review, which he absolutely needed. He had to move somewhere else after for days.
WiFi has to work, if you have to work, indeed.
Rocio's Angry Birds WiFi is free to use without any signing in. It's a long term project. The connection was open a year ago already, covering the city center and all the tourist areas. The project includes widespreading the coverage to more areas in the city.
Having been chronologically denied digital native status, I am glad to have a name for my current condition. Teach in North Carolina and in love in Florida. Class preparation, test grading and such are done on the MacBook Pro (and now presented via an iPad). Along with the iPhone my physical location is transparent to administration and students alike. Kindle and iBook even make toting reference material a breeze. The drive between the Jacksonvilles is contemplation time. Eight hours of good music and thinking. The first drawback was the cost to duplicate my support equipment (Brother 2270 and Apple Router) at her house. The second is missing the free meal at the semi-annual faculty meeting. All in all, a great deal.
I just wrote a blog for UBM's Future Cities Website about... digital nomads and what cities could conceivably do to encourage them. Nicole approved the idea in January, and Mitch's video sparked me to finally write it, so it's posted now.
WiFi is the lifesblood for digital nomads -- unless they are independently wealthy and don't have to work -- so I was wondering about Rovio's WiFi in Helsinki. Is the service widespread in the city and is it for a few months or for the long term?
Your baby steps plan sounds good. This is also a good opportunity to improve time management. I have been working on my time management recently, and I think I have made some progress. As you pointed out, time management is the key. Good luck in the baby steps.

The smartphone market reached a significant milestone, a breakthrough that may cause vendors to celebrate but could strain the capabilities of IT service desks.
In the fall of 2011, around 160,000 students in 190 countries enrolled in a Stanford-sponsored online course about artificial intelligence. About 23,000 completed the course and got certificates, including 248 who got a perfect score. The university offered the same course the old-fashioned way to students sitting in Stanford classrooms. None of the those students got a perfect score.
As Mitch Wagner discussed today, Yahoo is acquiring Tumblr. The big Internet debate at the moment is whether Tumblr will be good or bad for Yahoo. Regardless of their stances on the future of Yahoo itself, many claim that Yahoo will somehow ruin Tumblr.

New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority is conducting a pilot test of digital kiosks to guide subway users to where they want to go more efficiently and at lower cost.
The whole Amazon.reader debate is a double-stupid. It's stupid to think that there's any e-book buyer who doesn't know Amazon's URL, and it was stupider to let ICANN launch the whole free-form TLD initiative to start with.
While NFC's original goal was to enhance mobile commerce applications, it is finding its way into a number of other uses, which is creating both opportunity as well as challenges for IT departments.
