Vegas ain’t for workin.

No kidding. Deals may get done over drinks and strip clubs, but when it comes to having to get some work done in the room, not havin it. Yeah, I know Vegas ain’t for work, but when your flight is cancelled and you decide to catch up on some posts and stuff, it quickly becomes a PITA. It’s not just Vegas either. A few extra plugs close to a table makes a big difference in half the places we stayed. An ice machine less than an hour away would be nice too. And of course, wireless.

It’s easy to take that last one for granted, but it’s still an iffy proposition at many places on the road. If we didn’t have the USB Sprint cards, we would’ve easily lost a third of our uploading ability at night. It’s ironic the first time on tour we stay at a motel hotel and there’s no wireless, only an ethernet connection on some sort of vaccum cleaner cord Retract-O-Matic thing. (You can see how far it reached in the photo, just to the right of the laptop.)

Just close enough for me to work on some chairs and peer out at the future Darwin Award winners poolside.
