Getting some tech wood...

jawnbcI participate in a number of online market research firms, the major ones for the most part. I find it doesn't take long to do most surveys, I represent a perspective not often included in random samples (conspicuous neo-Marxian commodity fetishist), and there must be some opportunities to get and try new stuff.
Finally, some kewl new stuff. I'm now participating in a free 6 month trial of Bell Canada's high speed wireless internet. In fact, I'm writing to you on this very connection. The first 6 minutes have been very good: easy set-up, snappy speeds just slightly below my cable via wireless connection (I'm getting over 100k/s downloads rates from major sites, for example). And apparently it's portable: when I go to Toronto next month I can bring the modem and connectivity with me--no additional charge.
The one negative? The router-sized modem required for access. I think unless they get something that interfaces nicely with a laptop, the service's attractiveness will be a bit dicey.
OMG! I can like totally go onto gaydar in the bar or even at the tubs.
