Today I am serving in Federal jury duty and as I sit in this courtroom, I am thankful for the fact that I have fast Internet access. Part of the reason for the rapid access must be because the documents stated we could not bring electronic devices with us today. I may be the only one using EVDO in this building.

Thankfully a coworker told me I could bring a laptop as he saw others use them when he served in the past. I did leave my phone in the car and it now seems at least half the people here have their phones with them. Thankfully I have a headset with me so I could use VoIP if I had to make a call. But for now… E-mail is working fine.
