I’m not going to lie, I’m probably the worst dressed sales person out there. Whether it’s my lack of a fashion role model growing up or just my natural tomboyish nature, or years of Catholic school uniforms I have no sense of style. I also have a hard time shopping in my limited free time…

Another phone service switcheroo – VOIPo to Google Voice
My “office” line has long been a Voip number. First it was Vonage, then I ported to VOIPo and just used the forwarding service for a while (at $3/mo!), then I switched to having an actual voip account. I liked VOIPo well enough. They forwarded my calls to my cell phone on the road, I…
Time to get a new Kippie Bag
When liquids were first allowed again after the fiasco in 2006 I used run of the mill quart-sized plastic baggies. I think I would go through one per month because my bag is packed pretty tight and the pulling out and shoving in would do a number on it. Then sometime in 2007 I got…
FreedomPop – free travel internet
One of the podcasts I subscribe to is Gear Live to keep up-to-date with various technologies. The most recent episode talked about FreedomPop which is a service offering cheap pay-as-you-go and prepaid mobile data. They have a variety of hotspot options including cases for the iPod Touch and iPad which act as hotspots as…
How many outfits do you travel with?
I think I may have covered this a while ago, but it is always good to rehash this. Early on in my travel career someone told me to plan outfits so you only have to bring 1 pair of shoes. Instead of having outfits for brown, black, and blue shoes I decided to just stick…
Travel Product: New Backpack
For the past few years I have been using a laptop purse from eBags since it held everything I needed and looked more mature and feminine than a backpack. The problem with holding everything I need on one arm (and only having 1 shoulder that feels comfortable with a purse) means eventually back problems emerge.…
Contest: Rugged Readers
You read that correctly! I’m relaunching my blog with a giveaway from Rugged Readers. Are you sick of finding scratched or broken reading glasses? I know one of my coworkers broke the temple of his readers and still traveled around with them because he kept forgetting to go pick up a new pair. …
Business Valet Parking @ CLT
For all of these years I’ve been parking in the Daily lot whenever I can. I used to be able to walk to the terminal so it was cheaper than Hourly but more convenient than lots that required a shuttle (long term, daily north-FKA remote, and business valet). Then they started construction on on the…
Nexus interview is finally approaching
Back several months ago when I got my acceptance for a Nexus interview I scheduled the interview with a planned trip to Alberta. It was partially to cut down on trips, but mostly because that was pretty close to the earliest any airport could see me. I could have gone to one of the land…
RIP Mophie Juice Pack :(
I bought a Mophie Juice Pack Air from the Best Buy Express in MSP one trip in December when I forgot my iPhone charger. I really like it because it uses a MicroUSB to charge which meant I was able to borrow chargers from my friends with Android phones and it also has no problem…
