So, 2009 was supposed to be an era of change and hope. Well, I’ve seen a lot of change and I have a lot of hope so I guess that’s what we were shooting for. But with 2010 I’ve decided to make changes, especially to W00TDave.com. As many know, I’m an IT guy with a creative soul. My biggest strength has always been ‘talking customer’ and one of my greatest passions is writing so I’ve decided to do both.

What this blog will feature is articles written to be a common person’s view on a technical person’s world. When we talk about hard drives, bandwidth, dataplans and wifi signals it’s clear to use what we are talking about. To many people in the IT world the easiest way to explain a WiFi adapter is; an adapter that picks up wifi signals. But to most people they don’t know what a wifi signal is or where it comes from. They know that Starbucks offers it for free in some places and there are things called ‘Hot Spots’ but outside of that it’s not very clear.

I have a blackberry with a dataplan right now. I love it, but to save money I’m about to drop the dataplan. No tears, because it has a built in wifi adapter. This means that I can stand in the middle Bestbuy and look up video game reviews on my phone before buying anything. Or stand around in Boarder’s Books checking email, because the Blackberry patches into the wifi of the surrounding locations. No WiFi means my Blackberry becomes little more than a cellphone that plays music and videos. I once pulled out my Blackberry to make a call, as I was leaving a restaurant, and realized I could have been surfing the web while waiting for my meal! It was one of the reasons I ate there again later that week (I kid you not!)

So, how do I do all this? And is there an easy way for you to do it too? Sure! But that’s too much to go over in one post. I just wanted you to know what’s possible and that I won’t get all complicated when I explain it. Now, if you’ll excuse me I have to go turn my Xbox 360 into a DVD player while looking for work on my laptop.
