Tethering BlackBerry Storm to Mac OS 10.5 over Bluetooth

Finally I can tether my BlackBerry to my Mac and get a connection.  Here is the how to.

1 Pair the BlackBerry to your Mac via Bluetooth

2. Set up the modem for dial up using the following settings:

    Dial Number #777
    Account Name : .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) (Example: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address))
    password vzw

    In advanced setup, under bluetooth Tab choose the following

    Vendor : other
    Model: Verizon support (PC5220)  I have also read that the 5320 profile works.
    Enable Error Correction
    Wait For Dial Tone

I have heard reported that if you want to do this via a USB cable, you must go to http://www.vzam.net/ and download the Verizon Access Manager for pairing the Mac with the Motorola Q.  Haven’t tried it yet, but I think I will give it a whirl in the upcoming days.

I don’t know how to make sandwich, sorry

That is amazing. I am standing at the Deli counter at Safeway, waiting to get a sandwich, and the guy behind the counter actually just said to me: "I don't know how to make sandwich, sorry." So, now it would seem I am not going to get a sandwich. Bill

Up to speed

The last couple of weeks have been a little hectic… but what’s so strange about that, it being holiday time an all.  We headed home to Boston to be with my family for Christmas.  We were supposed to fly out on the 21st of December, but a fairly large snowstorm (large by Seattle-Tacoma standards) prevented that.  With our flights cancelled, and Alaska Air unable to get us out before the 28th, we were about to give up on the idea of going home for Christmas.  Then we got a call from my sister.  She was able to get us First Class ticket to Boston on United using her miles.  All we needed to do was purchase return tickets on Southwest and we were good to go! 

It was a blast visiting folks, but just as exhausting as all travel is.  Back in T-Town in time to see the snow melting, do the dog swap thing with Mal and hunker down for some rainy winter days.  It has been great to be home.

Murray Morgan Bridge to get some attention?

According to the folks over at Exit 133, the Murray Morgan bridge might get some much needed love.  This has been a while in the making.
