Blogging from the Air

Posted by on September 3, 2009

I am posting this from my netbook at 30,000 feet. Not just typing it, posting it. Delta offers Gogo Inflight Internet, and there’s a code on the welcome page for first-time users to get a free pass. I assume it places a cookie when you get it, so I will delete that and see if I can get the service again on the flight back. DC to Atlanta is only 1h20m – in fact I think I just felt us start to descend – but the cool factor is phenomenal. And, no offense to the writers of the inflight magazine, but this is much more interesting!

I was even able to call my wife at work using P3 VRS! Finally, deaf people – who can’t enjoy inflight movies because they’re not captioned – can have a benefit on the plane that hearing people can’t! She was just leaving work so I’m glad I caught her. I think both she and the interpreter were quite amused by the fact that I was calling from a plane in flight.

Ain’t technology cool?

    That is very cool. What was your connection speed? Any lag at all? Were you able to get a connection on the flight back after deleting the cookie? Just a little curious. :P

    That sounds really good, does it get to the page any quicker? ;-)

    It is actually really good, I guess the wireless doesn’t affect it then..

    I heard that they are offering internet on planes now. That’s pretty cool. I wonder how they are achieving that.
