The Best Comments Of The Month: November 2009

At the end of every month I like to take some time to highlight a few of the comments that appear on various posts. The comments are insightful, entertaining, and add much more information and experience to each post. Here are just some of those great comments.

• The Backpack Foodie tells up how to really crack an iPhone to avoid its disadvantages.

• Drive 2,250 kilometers the quick and painless way using some of Mark H‘s Australian advice. Brian Smith recommends B vitamins, hot water, and a getting your blood flowing to keep the trip safe and seamless.

• While I don’t recommend using the Internet kiosks at airports, if you really must, use Richard‘s technique to keep your online accounts safe.

• Luke says the trip is in the traveler and we don’t fall into neat traveler types or categories.

• In addition to some of these free alternatives to Hotspot Shield (so you can watch Hulu and get to other sites from outside the US), Benjamin Barnett recommends Graboid, an option for a small fee.

• I may have convinced Shannon OD to go to Comic Con, while not on the level of a full blown Star Trek convention, it’s still dorky fun.

• I never though of it before but the Van cat does kind of look like David Bowie (thanks Gourmantic!)

• Finally, take some time to check out and enter Jen Laceda‘s camera giveaway. It’s very easy to enter and the Soviet-style Lubitel 166+ Universal Lomo medium-format film camera is an awesome prize.
