Always when I think I’ve seen it all … I find something new, fancy, funny and nerdy thingy …. trapping my interest.

So it happened again yesterday evening when I was a bit bored waiting for some import to finish and started searching through YouTube and all those funny video clips there. Sure, most of them crap and I have to be in a rather funny or lazy mood to do so - normally I see it as wasted time though.

Just this evening I felt too tired to do something else besides and so I ended up in finding this clip here with explanations about how to create you own 25ct WIFI extender. Instead of buying some US$ 25 (or more) new fancy highend antenna instead.

Sure, the physically principle is not really new and even without testing it, I would be sure about it works …. But I guess nerdy as I am, this evening now is already reserved handicraft work time verifying it!

Years ago when i headed out into this world first, even phoning home was some adventure.

What will this call going to cost you? Does is need 2 or 3 leading "0" and the country code to dial home?
But today with everyone is carrying a cell phone this is no longer an issue anymore. We are used to pick our phone and dial whoever and whenever we want right away.

Now travelling some less occupied areas of the world it can happens that you reach the end of mobil phone coverage even these days.

Last this happened to me while traveling the outback of Australia. No one living out there …. no need (at least no commercial) to make effort covering this area for mobil phone usage.

But curious this time being over in the USA I’m running into similar situations. No cell phone network access since days … at least not with my european mobil phone. But knowing about there is no phoning anymore, it is impressive to see that nearly each Hotel/Motel does offer Wireless Internet connection for free …as a reason to exactly choose them and no other business instead.

Yes, world seems to be far more connected than once at the time when I headed out into it first.

But … tell me … how can they know, that today I far way more often communicate and write emails with international friends around the world … than calling folks at home and telling good old mum for example that I’m fine?

Yeah, things have changed dramatically …. but I couldn’t say I don’t like it.
