Daily Photo - Approaching Grand Central Station in the Rain
Rainy nights in cities pose a tough problem. Really, in many ways, you have to fight against every natural human instinct to go out into the rain on purpose. It's so easy just to want to stay inside, make a hot cocoa (or, a think Aztec Drinking Chocolate in my case), watch a movie, be all cozy, etc etc. But the little photographer inside of you also knows how interesting things are out there!

So, I tend to compromise, and force myself to go outside half the time and stay inside half the time. This occasion in New York City was obviously one of the times I went out in the rain.

You can see I am approaching Grand Central Station -- and that is the famous Chrysler Building in the background. This was shot with the Nikon 14-24 Lens (See my Nikon 14-24 Review). It's an expensive lens, so if you are looking for something cheaper that also takes great wide-angle shots, check out the Sigma 10-20mm (Review coming some day when I mysteriously get more time).
My Sprint 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot is Pretty Crappy
So, I was going to either get the Verizon MiFi or this Sprint 4G Mobile Hotspot thing... I needed a fast mobile connection that I could use on the road instead of depending on coffee shops or hotel rooms. I could not decide which one to get, and in the end, I opted for the Sprint one because I thought the 3G would be equal to the MiFi but the 4G would be better where I had coverage. What I've learned (briefly):

The 4G is better if the area has 4G. Austin does, so that is nice.
I've since traveled to Plano, Dallas, and Orlando, none of which could pick up a 4G signal
So, instead it connects at 3G - it is glacially slow !
