Tad's IT Blog
We’re off!
We’re off! My wife and I are off on a cross country road trip, and while doing such, I’ll be trying out my mobile blogging tools in my phone. (this is being written from the car on an iPhone). So far, I’m liking the twitter approach rather than wordpress, but we’ll see. About to enter AT&T’s largest 3g dead zone in the PAC northwest, so well see when the next post will be!

GeoTag Junkie: Where my Last 500 Photos were Taken
about 8 months ago - No comments
Unfortunately, the wonderful Flickr map only lets you display as many points on the map (at a time) as you can fit in thumbnail photos across your screen. So, for someone like me who meticulously geo-tags every photo taken (in the hopes I’ll one day be able to locate the ideal geo-data visualization app for
The Trip Map – Web 2.0 Style
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
Now that my cross-country trip is drawing to a close (I should be pulling in to my destination in the DC area tomorrow) I’ve been trying to figure out a cool Web 2.0-style way of displaying where we went on this trip, with the route we took, geo-tagged photos, videos, and all of that sort
Lesson on how you KNOW if you’re Actually at 10,600 feet
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
When driving on the I-70 toward Colorado, if your Subaru is buff enough, you will finally come upon Vail Pass, at a breathtaking 10,603 feet. Now, anyone who’s been mountain climbing in the Cascades knows that at about 10,000 feet, you see snow and ice and Glaciers and you lose your breath and have to
Parade of Videos of our Trip through Utah/Colorado
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
While my wife & I are on our way across the country, I finally was able to stop at a place that’s got wifi, so I’m finally able to upload and work with some of the photos & video that I’ve been taking over the last 48 hrs. (Sorry, yet another opportunity for me
Letting the wife drive
about 1 year ago - No comments
As we make our way across Utah and into Colorado, I’m letting Kat drive for a bit so I can take advantage of the fact that we’ve had Edge data service across most of eastern Utah. Lack of ANY service in Western Utah cost us our hotel reservation when we couldn’t call or message them
Breathtaking Ride through Nevada/Arizona
about 1 year ago - 4 comments
I’m stopped at a Burger King in St. George, UT right now, and mercifully they have wi-fi. I’m spending most of my time, however, reviewing all of the photos we took on our slice through the Yellow Knolls near the Arizona/Nevada/Utah border. I kept my eyes on the road as Kathryn snapped pics. Really
First Trip to Vegas
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
After loading up my little Subaru with another thousand pounds of stuff in LA, Kat and I headed up today towards Vegas. We wanted to get further, but due to awful traffic, we only made it this far. And, as hotel wifi is an extra $14/night here at the Sahara, it’s yet another post from
Sunrise in San Francisco
about 1 year ago - No comments
Had a wonderful morning in San Francisco, pulling in to town at about 5am, just in time to get some rocking pics with my wide angle Minolta of the Bay Bridge at sunrise. Soon as I can, I will get them on flickr (I.e. When I’m back on my laptop on wifi, as I still
Out of the 3G dead-zone
about 1 year ago - No comments
Well, the plus is that I’m out of the Eugene-to-Weed 3g deadzone, but then I ran low on batteries. So, didn’t get a chance to do an update until now, while I charge my iPhone and figure out how to make the wifi at this Starbucks work. We decided to abandon the boring I-5 last
Portland: A Model for Ballsy Mass Transit
about 1 year ago - No comments
Maybe I’ve just played a little bit too much SimCity. Prior to my most recent outing, it was the only way that I justified how strongly I felt about Portland’s efforts as mass transit, as I really just admired the principle of aggressively pursuing light rail and bus systems that work, and then combining this
