So this might make me a bad person but remember how my Telus Blackberry won the which-blackberry-can-complete-a-call-to-or-from-your- girlfriend-from-on-top-of-the-Niagara-Escarpment-contest? Well,... it might just have also won the which-blackberry-can-surreptitiously-get-a-signal-at-39,000ft -if-you-hold-it-up-to-the-window-when-the-flight- attendant-isn't-around-contest.

Stayed tuned for the which-blackberry-can-get-a-signal-while-riding-past-a- classified-US-military-compound-in-the-middle-of-the-Mojave-Desert- and-getting-abducted-by-aliens-contest.

Man - this expendition turning out some top notch science . . . we should have got funding from the Royal Society . . . James Cameron . . . holding on line 1.

So, while we are all here flying on a plane with a something-less-than-chance-of-dying-in-a-car-crash chance of dying in a plane crash, BabyZ decides - in all innocence and without any irony - that he wants to get a picture of each of us wearing his glasses that he swears are official issue Buddy Holly.

We are now flying over what sure looks like desert - and I just got excited to ride it.

Once we arrived and settled in our hotel in Oceanside, a couple of us sat down for a little meeting in our room when BabyZ came skipping down the balcony outside our door chirping "the helmet cams are working! The helmet cams are working" (which I have to admit is pretty cool and fully worthy of a bit of skipping and chirping). Christopher asks if the wireless is working such that we are presently on camera in the next room. BabyZ says, "I think so - let me go check!" and skips back down the balcony, at which point Christopher did the only thing one could do with the helmet cam in that situation - he stuck it down his pants. The helmet cams work.
