Our Mobile Workplace
To get from one end of the area affected by the oil spill to the other end requires lots of travel. Grand Isle and Venice are both two and a half hours from New Orleans. It’s a bit over three hours to Gulf Shores Alabama. Staying productive during these road trips is essential as we arrange meetings, keep tabs on the news, and stay in touch with the rest of the team organizing TEDxOilSpill. As we go, well, we certainly do look like a band of geeks.

To keep connected, we’re using a Sprint EVDO card in Duncan’s laptop and rebroadcasting internet access using Internet Sharing. If you happen to see the SSID “TEDxOilSpill Mobile Command” show up in your airport menu, look around for a black Nissan Xterra. And smile for the cameras.
