A Cabbie And A Tech Consultant All In One
from the it's-all-about-bundling dept
TechTV has a story about a NYC cab driver who also is a computer consultant - which he handles while driving his cab. He claims you can get plenty of work done while waiting at traffic lights. He has a laptop and a cell phone in his passenger seat (using the cell phone for dialup access) and works on problems while driving people around the city. If the problem is particularly troublesome, he'll stop taking fares and even (occasionally) visit client sites. He apparently gets a lot of business from people he drives around, who are impressed with his technical knowledge.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
