Wednesday, February 24, 2010 at 2:17PM Had the pleasure to meet up with Chuck Joiner at Macworld 2010. That guy certainly has an amazing work ethic. I suggest you check out MacVoices.TV for loads of top rate interviews from Macworld 2010.
He was kind enough to spend a few minutes talking to me about ScreenCastsOnline and has just published the interview:

Will probably start my regular daily blog posting and video comments next week to allow me some time to get this weeks show in the can and published.
In the meantime, my good friend Chuck Joiner has just published the audio and video to the live macRoundtable we did at Macworld 2010.
Check it out here:
Thanks Chuck!
Wednesday, February 10, 2010 at 1:58PM Just a quick update on the MiFi as described in the earlier post, now that I'm in the USA.
The Virgin Mobile plan I'm on in the UK, does include provision for Data services abroad, the only issue is that it's £5 per MB or something like that.
The 02 data plan for my iPhone is £6 per MB (although you can buy a 1 month 50MB bolt on package for £50) besides which, the iPhone SIM would not work in my MiFi.
So the master plan was to arrive in the US and visit a local AT&T store (along with @patmahon who is in the same situation) and see if we could buy a Pay as You Go SIM with data to pop into the MiFi.
To cut a long story short, we were successful!
We were able to buy a "Pay As You Go Simple Rate" plan which was SIM only. It cost $25 for Voice and $19.99 for 100MB data. That's $44.99 or £28 in real money! The great thing is that if we use up the 100MB of data, the $25 set aside for voice calls (which we'll never se) goes towards the data plan so we get an additional 50MB or so data.
As far as installation was concerned, I just popped out the Virgin Mobile SIM and popped in the activated AT&T SIM and boom - it just worked! No configuration required.
So now, my laptop and my iPhone have WiFi connectivity wherever I go, provided I remember to take the MiFi with me (and a spare charged battery!)
Result!

Of course, you do realise that any mistakes in dates are, in fact, deliberate to make sure you're paying attention. I've altered the deliberate mistakes due to the diligent commenters. Thanks!
