I am onboard an AirTran flight using their in-flight wireless service. It is costing me $9.99 for my 1.5-hr flight. Expensive, yes, but way cool, and it allows me to get some work done.

Overall the speed is quick. The ISP is "CI - AIRCELL LLC SID" out of Richardson, Texas, and operates in the 12 class A IP network.

Speed? DSLReports.com says 1909 Kb/s down, 274 Kb/s up, 232 ms latency.

Uploads are terrible, I can't even upload a 100KB image of the speed test to this blog entry! Well it finally worked after 5 tries!

While Wikipedia-surfing I came across an interesting article regarding North Korea. For sometime I have known that the TLD for North Korea is .kp, but what I learned today is that there are exactly two... 2... sites that are .kp, check it out.

Check out Wolfram|Alpha, a new search engine by the maker of Mathematica. It isn't a web search, like Google, but rather an information search. Don't look up something, but input a request for knowledge. Try your birthday, and see precisely how old you are. Check out the easter eggs! There is also an API to incorporate WolframAlpha into your application.

Who likes Microsoft Internet Explorer? No one. If you are one of those people, and also run a Drupal site, check out this module. It will block users visiting the site with Microsoft Internet Explorer on Fridays, and ask them to check out Firefox.
