Snowflake, AZ

It's a bit cold here in Snowflake... I'm picking up a load of paper rolls headed for Las Vegas, NV....sin city... I should be there by around 3PM it looks like. After that I will find a place to park so I can get some rest.

While I was in the Phoenix area yesterday I was able to download quite a few podcasts thanks to the 3G Network and my broadband wireless card!! Looks like Cingular either fixed the problem I was having in Portland or else it was unique to the Portland area. I have been working on my next podcast as well so you can look forward to that soon.

Thor is having a problem understanding why he can't get out and run around at this paper mill... he's a real trooper though and puts up with many long hours of driving and sitting in places where he can't get out. I owe him a good run when we get to a rest area.

I will be talking about Geo-Coding and Geo-Positioning of websites and Blog's in my next podcast, note that I have the {feedmap} up and working now. You will see a target icon below each post on my site that will launch a window displaying my last known position with a fair amount of accuracy. While this poses somewhat of a security issue since I am hauling freight, I won't be updating the position until I am leaving the area. More on this in my next podcast....

Thank's for the plug Joe (ABQ Trucker), I downloaded all of your podcasts yesterday and will be going through them shortly. For those who don't know, Joe is a fellow truck driver who does a podcast called ABQ Trucker out of Albuquerque, NM and he has a blog as well. Check him out.

Well, I gotta get rolling here, more later...
