I recently completed a 600-mile round-trip drive to witness a pair of my dearest friends get married. Normally, I make sure to pack the CDs and get any digital exclusives cached and queued up on my phone. It’s been a hell of a month, so that task didn’t happen. Instead, I refreshed my VPN credentials between my phone and server so that my music would seamlessly play from home. Through winding tree-lined roads and a severe thunderstorm, my car faithfully kept my connection alive.
