McBookaire: Field experiment with McBa

Tuesday, May 27, 2008

I ordered a ‘man bag’ for McBa. (Mac Book Air … I’m always accused of using acronyms) I took the 35$ one that looked like it would suffice. Some of them are price in the hundreds. Guess they think if you spring for a McBa, then you’ll spend any amount for anything. Maybe Martha; not me. The dumb thing didn’t come with a shoulder strap so I borrowed one. I’ll gripe about that vendor when I get around to it.

Any way I took McBa out in its ‘man bag’ and it worked perfectly. Fired up the vwubbie (Verizon Wireless Broad Band usb modem). And everything worked fine.

There was a wifi signal but I couldn’t connect. Argh!

McBa ran for more than 2 hours on the battery driving vwubbie.

I as careful to shut down; not just close the lid. Just closing the lid drains the battery in 12 hours.

So far, I’m pleased.

RANT: the ONLY chance we have to get away from the ‘gooferment education’ paradigm is ‘home schooling’

Subway Bans Homeschooled Kids from Essay Contest
By Ned Barnett

*** begin quote ***

Subway — the multi-national fast-food sub-shop giant — has shot themselves in the foot. Again. The goal of their latest promotion was to win the loyalty of parents of grade school-aged kids — to increase market share, revenue and profits. It was supposed to be a simple exercise in business marketing and promotion.

*** end quote ***

No Subway for me.

As a nation, the ONLY chance we have to get away from the ‘gooferment education’ paradigm is ‘home schooling’. Every time they embarrass and show up the teacher’s union driven gooferment system for the high-priced under-performing dud it is; that’s one more possible pin tin the balloon.

We can only hope to escape this institutionalize stupidity.
