Lubbock, TX & 802.11 Gets Some Sanity

Managed to make the drive from Denver, CO to Lubbock, TX today. Viewed some beautiful sights in rural Oklahoma (!) and experienced terrible Denver traffic getting out of town.

Also, good news on the wi-fi networking front. The 802.11 standard guys have introduced 802.11g, which is backwards compatible to 802.11b (the standard we're all using today). The 802.11a standard, which came about after 802.11b, was not backwards compatible. Anyway, the deal was that upgrading to the faster (a) standard would require completely new equipment. Sanity is restored.
