By the time you've read this you will have probably already heard about the Amtrak crash on the south side of Chicago.

To feel empathy for those on the train, sprint full speed into a wall and hit it head first. That's roughly what they experienced when they went at 15mph into another train that was apparently stopped.

You've probably noticed the lack of entries on this blog, but that doesn't mean I've gone underground. In fact, I'm probably doing more public work on the internet than ever before.

You can follow me on Flickr, Twitter, Urban Milwaukee, and The Bratwurst.

Also, if you ride the Megabus line between Chicago and Milwaukee, there is a good chance you'll see me every couple of weeks there.

Sharing The Sprint Card

Sam, Tad, and I always forget the little things when it comes to setting up an ad-hoc wireless network to share the Sprint EVDO Rev A card.

Things to remember... (blogging this so I won't forget)

1. Enable Client for Microsoft Networks on the shared connection
2. Make sure all services are go under the advanced tab on internet connection sharing
3. Disable firewalls (or get smart and make exceptions)
4. You share the internet connection, not the bridge to other computers
