I'm sitting in the passenger side of the car, travelling homewards. The traffic conditions on I-95 in Virginia were a nightmare.
We have a DC-to-AC converter plugged into one of the cigarette lighters, so that we can charge both our cell-phones and our laptops while driving. Qiao has a little GPS unit which is plugged into his laptop via a USB cable, and we are using a map program on the laptop to navigate with. I have my cell-phone tethered to the laptop, for internet access. I've used it to look up vegan restaurants in the area, and am now using it to post to LJ. For a little while, I had both laptops out on my lap, in order to copy some files from one to the other with a flash drive. I'm using the Opera browser with turbo-boost enabled, as my cell-phone's internet is at dial-up speed. But it works!
