Genius Tech Blog

Today marks the second day in a row I’ve worked from the same place — the YCG Northwestern Headquarters. Above you can see the lovely scene that greeted us as we cruised into Vancouver, B.C. this last weekend for an extended series of face-to-face client meetings.

Being on the road constantly has lead us here at Your Computer Genius to perfect the Digital Road Warrior’s arsenal, or rather, to make the most of the available technology, while striving to keep costs down, equipment fresh, and the backpack light.

The current mobile setup I use is as follows:

• Macbook Air — 3lbs
• Verizon USB720 — $59.99 Monthly Access
• Vector 75-watt Power Inverter — For 12-volt access

This worked great all the way to Canada and back!

I find the best cell phone reviews at Phone Scoop.

The iPhone 3G is a nice product.

Here are the benefits:

• Touchscreen
• Full keyboard
• Bluetooth
• Camera (1+ MP)
• GPS
• WiFi
• 3G Connection

However, I will not upgrade the Your Computer Genius Team to iPhones until these things are accomplished:

• Cut & Paste
• 3G Laptop tether (USB or Bluetooth or WiFi)
• Dvorak Keyboard Layout

Tell Apple what they need to do to appease us, here at Your Computer Genius Genius Headquarters:
