iPhone to the rescue (sort of)

Today, we were supposed to have our normal BS Breakfast meeting in the basement of Irvings. People showed up, but their wireless access was out again. So I thought I would see if I could access the Internet on my laptop using bluetooth and the Edge network on my iPhone. This really didn't work. I could connect my iPhone and laptop, but the connection doesn't actually do anything. The good news is that I was able to see my calendar on the iPhone and then write my weekly report in a text file for later import into Google Docs. [The iPhone can see Docs but not edit them yet.] I was also able to add two more sites to the ETS communities aggregator, although that would have been quicker if copy and paste was possible on the iPhone. Speaking of quicker, I'm getting much better with two-thumb typing...as this blog post indicates...all done from the iPhone.
