BART Goes Wireless

Awesome. The underground transit system in San Francisco, aka BART, is going wireless. I love riding the train but I don’t do it very often these days since I’m not working downtown anymore but I may start riding it again just for the hell of going to Pittsburg/Baypoint and back because wireless makes everything bearable. Having a wireless signal is great, I can take my new Sidekick II with me and sit on the train all day, surfing the interwebs or IM’ing (the way our language is evolving is scary to me but I’ll save that for another time) with people and sending email to the grandparents.

Sitting on a train all day and watching people and writing is fun by itself but throw in a wireless signal and suddenly you’re *working* and getting things done and not just sitting at home and getting fat. No, instead you can sit on a train and get fat (as long as they don’t bust you for eating your lunch I guess) and look cool while doing so. The article says that downtown is covered and the stop near my apartment is scheduled so it’ll probably still be a little while before I’m posting to DMDN from the train but hopefully it won’t be that long of a wait.
