Technology Allows Flexibility

I’ve been enjoying my summer, even though I’ve been predominately hanging out with myself.

That’s kind of my own doing, since my typical evening consists of going to the lake, usually Lake Calhoun, and working. Most nights, working consists of no client work, but the work I do extra, and it’s at a highly relaxed pace, because it’s summer, Yo.

I’m saturated with technology. For instance, right now, I’m at the beach, lying down, typing on my bluetooth keyboard, that’s connected to my tablet (obvs), that is tethered to my phone’s internet, that is charging on one of my mobile chargers…..

I have a similar setup with my laptop, including a mobile AC battery charger bought 100% for business purposes (because I needed to work on the cruise ship deck).

Next Steps

Since I’ve proven that my system works, and since I have military-grade encryption on my VPN, I can actually work remotely from anywhere in the world, and have no client files on my computer. If a computer gets lost or stolen, I can easy ‘cut the cord’ (make the connection to my server inoperatble), disabling any access until it is found or permanently.

This is a pretty cool. In the near future, I’m going to begin traveling more. I just hired a full-time employee, and she needs to work with me, so for a while, I’m just going to be taking Friday’s off and having long weekends. It’s unlikely I’ll work during these. But perhaps after the fall tax season, I’ll be able to take some prolonged trips where I’ll work *gasp* in the mornings and explore the rest of the day.

I think I’ll post on my travel blog now.

Happy Fourth!
