Headed to Purdue for 4 days. Off to a rough start, the zipper on my suitcase broke. Oh well. It is amazing how many “nights” can fit into an overnight bag.

We are on a bit of a vac at the beach. I have a bit of time to play with my new iPhone 3Gs. It really is a treat (I am even writing this on the phone now in the WordPress app that didn’t work so well, had to come […]
After a bumpy landing in DC on my way from Louisville I made it safe and sound in Boston. (The flight from Reagan to Logan was actually very smooth.) It was nice to see the banners welcoming us to the city…but I couldn’t help but wonder if our dues are […]
I am packing up this morning and headed to the Louisville airport. I should arrive in Boston about 3 pm (barring any delays in Reagan National, always a possibility). This morning John Hobbins reminded us all of Michael Halcomb’s invitation for dinner on Sunday night. I somehow managed not to […]

TUAW reported recently about a traveler who missed his flight because TSA workers couldn’t figure out what the MacBook Air was in the xray machine (now ports). Turns out the TSA (Transportation Safety Administration) has a blog and has reported that they are working to make sure all screeners know […]
