This post comes to you from 30,000 feet above the Atlantic. I’m on my way to France for work. We need to do some testing of the software I’ve been working on, on the Vodafone networks. So, my first visit to Europe will be for work. I doubt I’ll get to see much as today is Tuesday, technically its Wednesday now; I work all day Thursday and Friday, and will be leaving early morning Saturday. About 24 hours of travel for 16-18 hours of work. I don’t know how people do this on a regular basis.
Actually, I shouldn’t complain so much. My seat got upgraded to Business Class Elite (say it in Don Lafontaine’s voice). That’s the only way I could possibly be writing this right now. Using a laptop in the peasant’s class is just not possible. The biggest problem with this upgrade though is that I don’t know how I can ever return to coach now that I know what I’m missing. I’m 6’ 3’’ and I can’t reach the seat in front of me! Free drinks, a nice dinner service with multiple courses, free new release movies, I need to make more money.
Anyways, here’s a couple of random blurs from my day just to make this post take a little more of your time and still be a complete waste in the end:
Only 3 out of 10 Delta Trivia players know that Jason from Friday the 13th’s last name is Voorhees. That’s sad. Or am I just getting old?</li>
Viigo is a great RSS feed reader for the Blackberry, and maybe other devices too, but I can only vouch for the Blackberry version. There are a few little quirks to it as it is still a rather young app I believe, but it is actively being developed and you can easily submit bugs and feature request from the app itself. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, but today I realized how vital an app it has become for me. I spent a lot of the day catching up on my feeds as I hopped from airport to airport.</li>
This blur isn’t from the plane but, something I experienced driving around Grenoble. The lines separating the left side of the road from the right side of the road are white here. If you are not from the states, the dividing line is yellow for traffic going opposite directions, white for traffic going the same direction. Talk about a two inch heart attack, the first time I turned right on a road and noticed the line was white and had cars coming at me from the other direction, made me nearly mess my pants.
