Finally! After several days, electricity is restored to our area. (We LUV LUV LUV our Bangor Hydro Crew!)
It may seem trivial to miss my Internet service so much (when there are others concerned about heat and food)....but....I would love to know if there are any creative ideas for how to access the Internet when there is no cell phone service available and no electricity . (One creative Realtor posted on Twitter that she used her cell phone for a modem for her laptop. Very clevel idea if cell phone service is available!)

tech tips: Tranquility, Terrain and Technology - 12/11/07 11:53 PM
I love winters in Maine ! When it snows, the world seems to spin in slow motion....The tranquility, the beauty, and the excuse to not go to the office ASAP!!....(Even though the road crews are usually out 24/7 keeping the roads plowed).I don't think I'll ever get over the excitement that I used to feel as a kid when I woke up and discovered that school was canceled and it was a SNOW DAY. It will always be a reason to celebrate! Of course, on Mt. Desert Island, I had excuses to celebrate several times this past week! There may be … (0 comments)
