The World Is My Office

Try to get free wi-fi.

I can see how the cables extending from the wall socket can pose a legal liability in case a patron trips over it or something.

Like you can't afford to pay for access to WiFi-zones. :mrgreen:

Yeah, that's the great thing of todays Hi Tech and Internet! Though surfing the web using my cell is still disappointing for me and I will only do it as an emergency. A keyboard just types faster then a mobile key path I guess...

:idea: It's always a good idea to have a backup battery...maybe some company will develop one of those quick charge -if it's not already available- devices for laptops like there is for regular batteries. This gives me another idea: the first solar-powered laptop...what do you guys think?

Unplugged by the "rent a cop" that's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time! The next time you go to the mall you should bring in a huge mega-amp 12 volt industrial battery with a converter and let all your friends plug into a community power strip. Maybe they'll get the picture then!

This is one of the main reasons why I'm pursing making money off the web.

I never found place like this which disallowe plugging a notebooks. It's not internet friendly

who would have thought last year that you vancouver guys would be in a picture with only apple products . . . . . :evil:

Hello John,

This is my first visit to your Blog. I agree blogging is the best way to do business online, I'm a Realtor and I'm seeing great results marketing my real estate listings online with blogging stories and information about them in a Blog post. Google picks up the story fast and gives me great positions with my long tail key words, bring Now Buyers to me.

Tell me (us) more about how to effectley and successfully make money online blogging,
Thanks, have a great day!

What are your thoughts on the idea of [free] WiFi eventually being deemed obsolete by cellular broadband? Personally, I appreciate having the ability to go to certain places and know that I can post a new article to Jcyreus dot Com or get a little work done if I have a little extra time (shopping with my wife presents lots of opportunities for this). I even make certain decisions as to which places I patronize based on whether or not they offer free WiFi.

I have translated this post into Chese.

yes,that is so nice can work at everywhere and anytime....this is most of the people wanted but most of them failed to did it....

Hehe, nice one. I don't have a Mac, I have a Windows-powered notebook, however, here in Romania, we are allowed to plug our notebooks in, but you'll have to buy something, like chips or soda, or anything.

I blog from home, from work, from my new phone with Windows Mobile 5 :wink:, and that's all.

You've got to love the freedom that working on the internet gives! I can now be with my friends and family from overseas each year if I want and travel the world as well. Although I do still need to work once in a while :mrgreen:

Man, my battery stinks. I'm lucky if I get an hour. I need a Mac!!!!

It's pretty remarkable. I love it.

Absolutely agreed. Same goes for the forums.

That just goes to show you how far behind the rest of the world and the masses are with the Internet.

kinda unorthodox to have free wireless but be unable to use wall outlets.

The wall socket thing just doesn't make sense. I've never had a problem plugging in my laptop into a wall socket at an airport, for example. And what if you were to charge your cell phone. Irrational people, I tell ya.

That's bizarre, they're more worried about their wall sockets than they are their wireless network.

No need to have the office might be one of the biggest advantages for bloggers :)

Hi John,
This is certainly a top website. Some of the details and information found here are without doubt rare. You, as producer of this site really does know you work and anyone would do well to really get immersed here. A real favorite..

I used to love being able to have the freedom to take my laptop anywhere with me. Unfortunately, my laptop is a piece of crap. The battery won't charge and the plug in has to be rigged in order to keep the laptop even running. It's an older Averatec laptop and I obviously do not recommend them! :mad:

One of these days I am buying a new laptop. Preferably a Sony! :mrgreen:

My favorite thing about this post is the photo. That is definitely the smile of a rich guy. In fact I think Chappelle used to have a line that would go perfectly, something along the lines of "I'm rich b..."

And very good point Grec C. about how the internet allows you to be in lower cost-of-living places while making bucks. I'm currently doing the same thing with Real Estate (Chicago now vs. my last, super pricey LA place). Plus my "side job" of having a blog with adsene, tla, ttz, kontera would be like a foreign language to the people right next door to me now that I'm back in the ghetto where I grew up.

I think the whole online things has taken off, I don't even carry a USB pen with me now as I keep all my files on the net so I can access them from anywhere.

I definitely agree there. I do my posting from work, from home and from university. It's just so efficient to be able to listen to a professor go on about marketing, be able to take it in and at the same time write a blog post.

Now I just need to get a laptop that doesn't weigh 10 pounds and I'll be set.

This is what I love about blogging, you can do it anywhere you have an internet access. The world is our office.
:razz: :lol:

That sucks that you got unplugged :( 5 Hours on the MacBook wouldn't last pretty long if you keep draining it...

It starts turning into 4, then 3, and lastly 2 hours..

Hey, expand that webpage window, let it gobble up the whole 15.4 inches, and then just use F9 to easily switch between your windows! I like that system much better than a small browser window - for the Mac, of course.

Since I make my living online I decided to move around as many times as possible.

I moved from Berlin to the outskirts of Ireland (with a sweet broadband connection) and from there I moved 20 days ago to Valencia. ... not sure what will be next.

Right on, John! This is one of the biggest reasons why I started blogging. I really enjoy doing my work no matter where I am on this planet. I hate sitting in offices. I rather go writing in coffee shops, malls, hotels, etc. I live in Finland, but I can write articles and promote my blogs while drinking coffee in Bratislava, in my hotel room in Rome, in my flat in Verbier after a good day of powder skiing in the backcountries, etc. Yeah, blogging rocks!

LOL just hope you dont mixed with the newspaper with your 'Air'. All else they might throw like a paper into air. :grin:

Yes.. it really does last 5 hours. It's amazing.

WTF John, my 17" macbook pro only gets 3 hours max! What's worse is after one or two lectures, I barely have any juice left to blog.

Reducing brightness is key /
for increasing longevity of life or battery...

Richie Champagne :cool:

lol sweet. can't wait to start my website

mac rocks!

I usually go to RC instead, too many canto ladies talking at the top of their lung in Aberdeen XD

Couldn't agree more! :)
I didn't know the Aberdeen Centre has free internet! Better hit that up next time I'm in Richmond.

Easy on the smile there buddy! Look like a snake oil salesman.

Bloggers are available everywhere in the world by posting articles, in case there are internet connection.

This is definitely one of the reasons why I want to get into blogging and the entire eCommerce living. The freedom to work and make money anywhere you can get a reliable internet connection does have its lures.

Right now I'm in a situation whereby I might need to move (due to personal life changes) that is a low population area, and job opportunities in that area are not so great. I mean, I can find a job, but from what I've seen so far at about half of what I make now. :cry:

I don't make a living from blogging ( though I do blog a little), but I do make a living from "the internet." Doing it from anywhere is definitely a plus. I don't take advantage of travel as much as I just take advantage to spend time with my family and set my own hours.

Plus I also live in an area where the cost of living is pretty low. Understandably this means the "job" market isn't that great. People with college degrees working menial jobs is pretty common. However my job is not dependent or restricted to my local economy. I can live wherever. Most people's incomes are dependent on the local market. For example a certain job title may pay $50,000 where houses are $200,000 but $100,000 where the same house is 500,000. I can make $100,000 and live in a place where houses aren't much over 100k ( but still safe in a nice neighborhood and close to activities). Then I can also spend time in vacation spots and other areas as I choose.

It's easy to take advantage of economic and other flexibility when you have a "virtual" career.

My notebook has about an 8 Hour battery, but it's just a cheap Dell. I gave my 5 year old son my old notebook and he gets upset that his battery only lasts about 3 hours.

Can't believe my damn laptop battery was dead...

Haha I'm loving the smile on your face! You two are both fans of apple I see :)
