New Zealand: Travel Log
New Zealand’s known for a lot of things: sheep, extreme activities, gorgeous landscapes and sheep. The past two weeks, I had the pleasure of spending some time in that side of the planet, right under the ozone hole, to pass my Thanksgiving and celebrate my college room mate Sean’s wedding. My trip was alternately comprised [...]
To the Parent Sitting Behind Me
Hi, I know this is only an hour flight but do you remember, before you had a child, how you never wanted to sit in a flight with screaming babies and worse yet, a baby that’s kicking your seat? I’m sure it wasn’t that long ago. Your boy’s only just started to utter words and [...]
Jedis in Manhattan
On my way back from DC, I had the pleasant experience of once again having my first leg of the flight delayed and thus running through the terminal to catch the connection. US Airways was less than apologetic about the possibility that my luggage may once again not make the connection with me and I [...]
Luggage Update
Yesterday: baggage person tells me the luggage will arrive in the morning and it’ll take 3-4 hrs meaning I should expect it around noon. Today 1pm: I grab lunch nearby just in case the luggage gets delivered. It doesn’t. I call the automated service and it says it’s with the delivery company and will arrive [...]
No Spikey Hair For You!
I’m traveling for Adaptive Path’s UX Week in DC where I’ll be doing the Communicating Concepts Through Comics presentation, this time without the aid of Jane.Before that though, I’m making a quick stop in New York to hang out with my friends on this coast. Of course, no travel of mine is complete without a [...]
Rapid WiFi
I gotta say, I’m surprised there’s free WiFi at the Rapid City, South Dakota Regional Airport. So surprised, I figure I should blog on the plane before the doors close. Yes … I’m bored.
The Power of My Phone
I’m in Vancouver and my phone rings. I look at it and reject the call. You see, it’s my San Francisco phone and it’s roaming so I’m not about to answer just any call – especially this one. It was a call from the front door of my apartment complex in SF. My brother is [...]
Pet Peeves, New and Old.
New – people who stuff their massive carry-on, slightly less massive carry-on that’s supposed to be their “personal item”, their massive jacket and their duty free bag all into the upper compartment, thus occupying the entire compartment, thus causing others to have to check their bags from the plane, thus delaying the flight. There’s room [...]
One of Those Days
I’ve often said that my best anecdotes are provided by the INS. I alsmot feel I should have a category for those anecdotes to collect them all together. Then publish a mini-compendium. This time, I was travelling to San Francisco to attend a friend’s wedding (which, I might add, was a very beautiful wedding – [...]
