• Brief Chicago layover

    23 Nov 2006 » 1 min read about Travel

    Just arrived in Chicago. My flight continues on to Seattle so I can stay on the plane. Meanwhile, most of the plane has emptied out, and in fact, I am the only person left in the First Class cabin. It was a quite flight from Baltimore to Chicago. The First Class cabin was about 2/3…

  • Bridled and saddled and ready to go

    23 Nov 2006 » 1 min read about Travel

    I’m all packed up. The alarm is set for 4 AM. I’ve done my easy check-in through United and printed my ticket. I’m off to bed. I’m just hoping that the airport is not too crowded tomorrow morning and especially that there is at least one parking spot available in the hourly lot at BWI.

    I’ve got a long flight tomorrow: Baltimore to Seattle with a short stop in Chicago. I hate long flights because I get bored very quickly and I travel enough to where the more I travel, the quicker I get bored. So today I picked up Seinfeld, Season 7 which was just released on DVD (I…

  • The Dead Kennedy’s

    22 Nov 2006 » 1 min read about Music & Arts

    I listened to “California Uber Alles” by the Dead Kennedy’s earlier today. I hadn’t heard it in a long time. I’ve never been overly impressed with the Dead Kennedy’s as a punk band. However, as my mind wandered, I started thinking about the Kennedy’s and JFK, and how long he had been dead–and I made…

  • An engine of productivity

    22 Nov 2006 » 1 min read about Work & Career

    jkashlock mentioned how today is a bust as far as work is concerned. It made me wonder just how much productivity is lost on a day like today. It’s not that there are a lot of people who take the day off, and so productivity falls; I’m talking about lost productivity. The people who do…

  • Friday dinner

    22 Nov 2006 » 1 min read

    I head to Seattle tomorrow to spend the Thanksgiving weekend at Doug and Rachel’s. Doug said we are having Turkey for dinner tomorrow, it being Thanksgiving and all. That isn’t always a given in our family, as we sometimes have non-traditional dinners. Since I head home Saturday evening, that leaves Friday evening for going out…

  • Cookies for breakfast

    22 Nov 2006 » 1 min read

    I didn’t eat breakfast before I left the house this morning, and I when I finally got down to the mall, my usual place was packed, and I didn’t want to go to McDonald’s and the shortest line was at Larry’s Cookies and that’s why I had a $2.62 oatmeal raisin cookie for breakfast, but…

  • Who’s hiding behind that IP address?

    22 Nov 2006 » 1 min read

    This is pretty cool. I used it to look up a few IP addresses of anonymous posters (like Doug’s last post) and it was very accurate. The Google Maps integration makes it all the more impressive.
