Dongleberry pwnstar!Well how much would it cost us to add another dongle to the plan? If we could do that without having to extend our contract then everybody wins.

The $5 would be going to me i'm already paying ~$15 a month for it to sit on my desk and do nothing. So clear wouldn't be getting any more money than they already do.We're in a 2 year contract which started in Sept. 2009 and once the contract is up I think we might be looking for alternative internet sources (at least so I'm no longer teh one paying the bill for PMC). So the dongle will be available for use at least until September 2011.I own the dongle (as opposed to renting it from Clear) so when the time comes if you were to get your own Clear account you can register that device instead of buying/renting your own. I'd sell it to you for a reasonable price.However this may be moot now that Drew has called dongle dibs.The Comcast 4G is most likely a re-branding of the Clear service. here is a screenshot from their coverage map (green = what you'd be using yellow = 3G which is not accessible from the dongle):

if you ever wanted to experiment with microcontrollers TI has a new extremely low cost development kit ($5) with free C/C++ IDE. you can get it direct from TI with free shipping but the ship date is unknown due to high demand. or you can get it from Newark.com for $5 2-3 day shipping. you can also order free samples of certain TI components that you may need for your projects (possibly including additional microcontrollers minus the dev board) but their samples site doesn't seem to be working at the moment.the microcontroller is so low power that it can run off 3 grapes:

i remember one of their early commercials .. it was a guy checking in to a hotel in the middle of nowhere and he asked at the front desk what movies they had available for rent and the bored young attractive chick working the desk said something to the effect of "How about.. every movie ever made ..ok edit: found the commercial on youtube.anyway I don't know anything about their service just that commercial. Drew I'll honor your dongle dibs if you want it because I think you actually mentioned something about it weeks (months?) ago. Otherwise I'll ship it out to warshington.

Wait Drew which degree are you getting online? Go 'Merica
