4 Tips for iPad Tethering on the Road

I’ll admit it: now that I’m on my second iPad, I’m never going back. Combine that with LTE tethering, and my ministry travel for April was a breeze.

I was in Chicago, Washington DC, and Detroit for 2.5 weeks during April with the need to work on the road the entire stretch. Sure I had wifi sometimes, but one hotel was going to be a $20 extra daily fee (the nicer places always get you!), and the Missio Alliance conference where I was representing Great Commission Ministries had public wifi for 800 attendees all at once.

Then finally address the card and mail it…only to find out that the mail has already come for the day from my mailbox and it will just sit in there until tomorrow when it gets picked up at 4pm.  And thus won’t make it to my friend in time.

This often results in the Church being teased for her relative inability to navigate the turbulent waters of pop culture.

Sometimes, that mockery is deserved.

Today is not one of those days.

I May Never Borrow an iPad, Again [Part 2]

Eric Dye managed the difficult job of both intriguing and scaring us with this post about a curiously, uh, functional iPad stand.

Frankly, it’s shameful that we didn’t insure that everyone is covered. What better way to get that tough part of toddler training out the way while keeping the little one entertained and connected?
