I can say with certainty that this is the best roller bag ever made. Why this particular bit of genius hasn’t caught on, I can’t imagine. Possibly because, like those who ride the accursed Segway, riders of this contraption would give off a certain “punch me” vibe. And yet, one can’t entirely suppress the feeling of wanting to switch places with them, if only for a moment. Shameful, but understandable.

I’m a happy man. I love my digital nomad life.
I consider myself very lucky to be able to choose every day from where I want to work, how I want to organize my time, but most of all to rediscover the pleasure to ride my bike or drive a car in an empty street. Rush hours? Would you mind reminding me what that is?
Traffic congestions has literally poisoned my life for years. Beside the disgusting smell of exhausts fumes that soaked my clothes every day (I ride a scooter), stress …

What are the differences between them? How much do they cost? And what can you do with that connection? Kevin Hall at Device.com talked to reps from all …

Mexico City, March 13th 2009 (GMT -6h) – Here I am, finally, on the tierra del Tequila, after a 12 hours chaotic flight spent in the middle of a group of french rednecks. Although the flight was ok, the temptation to bail them out over the North Atlantic Ocean was really hard to resist…  but I managed to make it there and even to survive the Mexican customs!

Who has never looked with envy at those people surfing the web on their laptop, from the gate of an airport or while travelling on board of a train?
Who has never been discouraged to purchase a 30mns Internet credit for €15 from the only local provider available at an airport lounge or at a hotel?
