I wrote about this a little on my LiveJournal, but it looks like the Internet will soon be coming to a car near you. A company called KVH, which is responsible for putting DirecTV in most campers and SUVs, is marketing a new technology that would give anyone with $90 a month to kill the ability to access MSN’s WebTV service from a computer or notebook. The service, marketed as “TracNet” will cost a little under $2,000 for hardware and installation. TracNet relies upon existing cell towers serviced through Verizon Wireless to connect to the Internet. No idea if this is a niche market, or if this will catch on like satellite radio has.

The elections are over. It was a Democratic upset for people following the Governor’s race in California, with Angelides losing to Schwarzenegger, but it was a huge victory for the future of our country, with Democratic power in both the House of Representatives and in the Senate. Along with the Democratic victory came another boost for the Donkey Party–the first-ever woman Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, a California-native. With the news of the Democratic takeover, Donald Rumsfeld has resigned as Secretary of State, to be replaced with former Head of CIA Robert Gates.
