We had no land lines, cable or phone, so no Internet. Sort of. I added a Canada phone plan so I could make cheap calls at 59 cents a minute? ?!#$%?? I also added a data plan to my iPhone, but was paranoid about using it, going over, and paying $5.99 a meg. So I really just checked email headers, and responded to a couple of them. I tried out TweetDeck a couple of times, and it even said I was lame and it wanted a high speed connection. Turns out after looking at my usage numbers that the iPhone doesn&#8217;t use quite as much as I thought. At least using those apps. I am sure that regular browsing and google maps would have used a ton.<\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t believe the number of times I thought I would just check out some fact or location or some such thing by googling, but couldn&#8217;t. Couldn&#8217;t put up pictures, or blog, read other blogs, look for Lightroom plugins, or any other number of thinks I thought about doing. My name is Chris Ward, and I am addicted to the Internet. And I have no interest in a cure. It&#8217;s good to be back in the land of the Internet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am back in Winnipeg (will be in Minneapolis in another day) after spending almost all of the last two weeks at a cabin on Lester Beach (near Grand Beach) on Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba.
