Aurora Borealis

There's one thing that has been on my bucket list for a long time and that is going to see the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights.  I am heading out this weekend for Fairbanks to see what I can see.  I was wondering if there was such a thing as a "forecast" for the Northern Lights, so I did a search:

"northern lights" forecast 2012

The best result was the second one from the Geophysical Institute.

Even though this year is a good year to see the Northern Lights, next week is not looking too good.  Oh well.  We'll see.

How to share your blackberry's data service with your iPad 2

My son was using his iPhone as a hotspot for his Mac Book and the idea came to me that I could use my blackberry as a hotspot for my iPad 2.  So I did some research.

i typed into Google's Search box:

use blackberry as hotspot for ipad 2

That returned many results, the first of which was:

I clicked on that and learned that in the crackberry forums there are further instructions. 

So I went back to Google Search and typed:

site:crackberry.com "tether blackberry to ipad"

I clicked on this link: http://forums.crackberry.com/wifi-discussion-help-f65/finally-tether-blackberry-ipad-via-bluetooth-ipad-wifi-ftw-475732/

I found everything I needed there!
