So here I am, sitting in Starbucks, all excited about hopping on their wireless Internet while I sip my coffee… and my computer can’t find it. What? you’ve got to be kidding me! Ever since I got to China I can’t find a single wireless network anywhere!
Wait…. ever since…. d’oh!
So there’s this little switch on the front of my computer that you can use to disable the wireless card while you’re on the plane. Y’know, so you don’t mess up the nav systems and wind up becoming the cast of another hit TV series. Well, I never use mine. I mean never use mine. But when you’re on the same plane for 14 hours, you kind of need to. Apparently, when you never ever use it, it’s harder to remember to turn it back on.
I wonder how many other free wireless opportunities I’ve missed. Somebody in the apartment next door is probably broadcasting an unsecured network with a ridiculously strong signal. I’ll have to check that when I get back.

By the way, while there are several wireless signals around me, they are all secured.
