"In addition to Googlert, Mike Dierken points out SearchAlert, a similar service he has set up that doesn't require you to have your own Google API key."  [via The Shifted Librarian]

A small but at times important factor I overlooked when I switched a year ago from a dial-up ISP to high-speed internet through our local cable TV provider -- what to do when traveling.  Used to be, all I needed was my trusty laptop, modem, and a phone line.  Luckily, the hotel I stayed at last weekend had a Business Center with the internet via a dial-up ISP.  Great.  Except for the fact that someone was on the only available PC when I wanted to use it.  If I'd have had a dial-up ISP of my own, there were plenty of phone jacks available.  But since I didn't, there wasn't much to do except wait.

So, I decided to do some checking around for information on hotels that offer high-speed internet access in guest rooms.  From Lawsites:  "Hotels with high-speed Internet. A recent issue of SearchDay points to a resource sure to prove useful to lawyers who travel frequently -- the Geektels directory. A "geektel" is a hotel with high-speed Internet access. This directory lists more than 2,300 of them, in locations throughout the world. Browse by country and city to find a hotel in your destination. Most listings describe the type of broadband service and the cost."  I was surprised to find that we have two in Lafayette:  Hilton Lafayette & Towers and Holiday Inn Lafayette.

It's a woman thing.  I got tired of the old look of my blog, so I decided to try this theme on for size.  So, far I think I like it.  One of these days, I'm going to figure out how to customize my blog, but until then I'm sticking with Radio's selection of themes.  This one is called Discreet Radio Themes:  blue, by Bryan Bell.  So, whattya think?
