26-Shirts Update
The team at 26 Shirts decided to up the ante for the people sponsoring a day with them. I had originally planned on being the sponsor for Sunday, January 28 (just cause it was the next open day when I visited the site to donate) and was waiting for my instructions or followup etc.
Yesterday, they announced that they were expanding the sponsorship package and because they changed their mind in the middle of the month I would be getting a second sponsor day (partly as a thank you and partly to be sure I'd benefit fully from my sponsorship). So, I think I'm still sponsoring Sunday, but now I'm also sponsoring Sunday, March 11 (day 70).
There are still lots of day left to sponsor (http://www.26shirts.com/sponsor-a-day) and they do a lot of amazing work in Buffalo (as well as other cities). Visit and help if you can. Or buy a shirt! I get tons of compliments on the shirts I own, they are really high quality and unique.

Internet Access
It appears I'm spoiled where I live and work. No issues ever accessing the internet. Lots of wifi connections I can make and when I absolutely need to do it, I have easy access to the cloud and can turn on my personal hotspot.
Last week I visited northern California along the coast. It was a place called Jenner, about two hours north of Oakland. Very limited wifi access. My phone did not work, the house we rented had SLOW access and the towns nearby only worked in the wide open spaces. Normally on vacation this is not a bad thing, but I had a freelance deadline in the middle of the trip. So, I got a little freaked out when I could only get my computer to connect when standing in the middle of the bedroom.
I managed to meet the deadline and also managed to avoid jobs before I headed back to the airport. But it was an eye opening moment to realize a few things. First, how dependent I have become on internet access. Secondly, how I never considered California to be remote. Finally, how the lack of land lines will be an issue if the internet gets throttled.
