I was over at freelance writer Jennifer Mattern's blog and she was talking about how her internet will be out for several days. What would you do without internet and you had a big freelance project that needed to be done?
This has happened to me a few times. I either go low-tech, doing my research at the local library or I go to McDonalds, order a parfait for me and the kids, then let the kids go crazy in the indoor playground. They get a healthy snack, social interaction and some exercise and I get to work for an hour or two.
I'm dying to get the new Droid (I already have the old Droid with a free data plan) that makes your cell phone a mobile hot spot. That way I have internet access no matter where I am. We travel a lot so this would be fantastic.
