After a day of geeking, sitting around on my computer, I’m wherever I’m staying, sitting around on my computer. San Francisco is a crowded city and there’s wireless everywhere, but none of it appears to be free like it is in the coffee shops of Portland.

I had Apple engineers looking at my computer with very confused looks on their faces. The following day I got a super-engineer to look at it and of course the errors went away when he looked.<\/p>\n Fortunately, Megan’s more interesting than the geeks.

Hooray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After a day of geeking, sitting around on my computer, I’m wherever I’m staying, sitting around on my computer.
