Guess who got a 3G iPhone… two weeks early?

Try not to be too jealous of me, but… me!

Hooo yeah, it is SO sweet, being able to download web pages, like 90 times faster. Not to mention, I can access the iTunes Store anywhere now, so I can rock out to 30 second clips of whatever song I want, anytime I want, for FREE. Plus, YouTube works better now, with higher video quality and faster streaming.. not to mention downloading and updating apps is lickety-split!

To top it off.. my 3G iPhone is already UNLOCKED and on T-Mobile, AND I share the 3G network over wi-fi (802.11g) to my laptop, my Nintendo DS, and everybody else riding my bus!

Now, how did I finagle all this awesomeness? You might say, being the greatest corporate blogger IN THE WORLD is finally starting to pay dividends!

Or, you might say… I just got one of these:

The PHS300 from Cradlepoint

So, the truth is, I’ve still got my old iPhone.

Ain’t nobody beating down my door with free new gadgets to test and review. But, what this “Personal Hot Spot” does is take any one of the USB high-speed data modems on the market right now in the US from Verizon, Sprint and AT+T and turns it into a portable, rechargeable battery-powered, wi-fi hotspot!

I had heard about this thing before but I’d sort of forgotten about it. And with the new iPhone news, I was thinking, “Man, if only the iPhone could just share its 3G network over wi-fi, turning itself into a little portable hotspot, that would make it perfect.”

And that’s what made my brain remember about it; it was right about the time I was testing all the various USB modems and starting to accept that I was going to have a HUGE dongle sticking out of my laptop all the time. The PHS300 saved the day with its 100% pure awesomeness..

Pure Awesomeness

Oh, pure awesomeness, let me count thy ways:

1. You can plug any of the various USB modems out there and they immediately just work.
2. Therefore, you don’t have to install any of the relatively crappy software drivers on your laptop.
3. Therefore, my VPN now works fine on all of them.
4. Therefore, macs/pcs/linux machines all work fine… and with zero configuration.
5. Now, dozens of machines/phones/gaming systems can all share your one USB modem.
6. The web-based management it provides works great and has every feature you’d expect from any 802.11b/g wireless router.
7. From completely off to connected to the 3G network on wi-fi only takes about 30 seconds.
8. The battery lasts a bit over 2 hours, enough time for my daily bus rides.
9. The PHS300 also works while charging from the wall.
10. It only costs $145.

More Testing

Being a huge nerd, I decided to do some performance testing of my new 3G wi-fi setup. In this case, since I’d already returned the Sprint Compass 597 USB modem, I tested another Verizon modem (the USB720 this time) vs. the AT+T USBConnect 881 modem, both directly connected to my laptop, and through the PHS300.

(A few notes:

1. My apologies to Verizon. It looks like the slowness from my last test was more due to the PCMCIAM interface to my laptop, rather than the speed of their EVDO Rev. A network! Using this USB720 modem brought it up to the speeds I’d seen from Sprint’s modem.

2. I pinged craigslist.org this time instead of google.com. For some reason craigslist’s ping times were much better across all the various networks.)

Now, for the two things I found:

1. The PHS300 added about 10-30ms to average ping times it seemed. No big deal.

2. For some reason the AT+T down/upload speeds were essentially HALVED by the PHS300. I thought that I must have been hitting some (surprisingly low) threshold for throughput of the device, but then the Verizon modem performed the same whether it was through the wi-fi or not! Weird.

So…

That “halving” effect is a technical mystery to me… and it’s making it hard for me to decide if I should keep the AT+T modem or just stick with the (USB) Verizon one. HMM! The Verizon USB720 does have this annoying super-bright flashing green light on it, but that doesn’t matter if it just stays hidden in my bag all the time I guess.

Anyway, in case I haven’t made it clear, I really like this PHS300 thing. It’s 100% pure awesomeness. In fact, it’s so awesome, it’s small enough to fit in my pocket, so I can walk around and be a human hotspot, a full five years before the rest of America!

I also like having a hotspot in my car (again, a full five years before it comes standard in all new KIAs).

Especially since you can’t talk on the phone while driving in California anymore, I’m definitely going to have to be doing a lot more emailing, instant messaging, and pushing out while driving!

We just moved in to our new house. My grandfather gave it to me based on his last will. Well, it’s not officially you can call a house. It’s big. It was a Spanish little fortress down the bay. It used to use as a watch post for any ships that set shore to load and unload their cargos. For centuries this little castle has been past for generations in multiple families, until my grandfather bought it. By the time it was used as his office in trading business. And now he’s gone, and he passed it to me. The reason that he past it to me is that he thinks that me and my wife can afford for the restoration and maintenance. So after a while we’ve decided to accept it. We are extremely thrilled to get the house, especially my wife. She’s been dreaming to live in a big house that faces towards the ocean. And this house is perfect like she’s been dreaming of. And the most important thing is that we think we afford to maintain it like my grandfather last wish.

But after we live in it for a while, we thought that our living room is lacking of something. The large floor looks empty compare to its size. So we thought that it would be great if we put a rug in the middle of it, just to add some accent. But we doubt that there’s a rug with this size. Our living room is 15m x 10m large. Are there any rugs in the market at that size? So we browse the internet trying to finds out if there’s any. And we find it on superiorrugs.com. It’s an online rugs store that provides high quality rugs at low prices in any dimension, shape, color, and model. They can give us the lowest rugs price because they are manufacturer and sells without any middleman right to the customers. And that’s why they can give us the cheap rugs price. So after browse it a while we finally can get our area rugs to cover our large area living room. With this rug our living room looks more alive.

I just read an article today about Workplace Injury, Illness and Fatality and I was shocked with what I read - especially the point that there were 67 fatalities in the workplace last year and 31 in 2008 to date. Some of the key points from the report were;

• The number of work-related deaths in 2007 was 67. This compares to 51 in 2006 and 74 in 2005.
• The agriculture sector had the highest fatality rate at 8.3 fatalities per 100,000 workers.
• Of the injuries reported to the Authority in 2007, approximately 14% involved non-Irish national workers.
• 13,631 workplace inspections were carried in 2007 and enforcement action was necessary in 12% of those workplaces.
• Manual handling continues to trigger approximately 1/3 of all reported incidents with ‘slip, trip and fall’ incidents the next

It is essential that health and safety is at the top of the agenda within workplaces. Investment in H&S for workers will save money in the long run for organisations. Hopefully the above reading will highligh this.
