A Historic Note

[foxgrrl]

I'm currently typing this post while traveling at 300km/hour! (I'm on a Thalys train.) As an aside, all of the trains here in Europe are spooky-quiet. Like more quiet than my hybrid car. I'm used to BART and Caltrain, which are so loud you can't hold a conversation with the person next to you. Here, I can hear people whispering at the other end of this car.

You can post from inside the train? On my last trip on BART I was annoyed by how 85% of it (even before SF) seemed to be underground, and therefore lacking in phone signal.

Wifi in a train?! Wow... leet.

You're in the Bay Area, I take it? Have you been there long?

All my life, aside from living in Sacto from 1997-2000 and in Ontario for 6 months in 2006. Ricochet sounds vaaaguely familiar but in 1994 I was in high school, so not travelling about on trains, and we didn't have "real" internet at my house yet anyway (that was 1995 -- only CompuServe before then, although granted, since I was about 6 years old) so I wouldn't have known the need for it.
