Your vision lessened friction in my computer life, everywhere you decided to focus your vision. Two weeks in Europe without an iPhone reminded me of that. MacBook Pros, iPhoto, iTunes, iPods, iPhones, Shuffles, .mac calendar, contact, keychain, and settings syncing across all these devices, etc.
Thanks, and goodbye.
So it goes.
I miss the days when you could check a large 70 pound bag. Even a bit more if you smiled and flirted with the ticket person. Maybe even two!
AA, and presumably every one else, now has a policy of one 50 lb bag for $25. Second bag costs you one newborn child. I really don’t know how anyone would go on a long climbing trip anymore. I guess I’ll find out in a couple of weeks. I’m considering trying to figure out how to ship some of my gear because climbing gear and clothes for a couple of weeks is going to be way more than 50 lbs.
Anyway, since yesterday was my day to get called on technicalities (parking ticket at work, balls busted at gas station for asking them to turn on the air pump), I came home and took the extra 1.4 lbs out of my climbing bag, and started a new carry-on. Previously, it was gonna be one checked bag of climbing gear and one laptop bag. I hate carrying stuff in airports. But since I was over, and I didn’t want to pay $75 for those 1.4 lbs, I threw a bunch of stuff in the Pata MLC and resigned myself to humping a load through LAX and Stapleton.
Now, AA, do you think that with your unfriendly policies and crazy charges, that you ended up carrying
mass on that flight?
Also, why does Burbank and every other place in the world have free wifi, but LAX charges out the wazoo? We all have smartphones now. It’s not as though I have to pay to see what the new iPhone looked like. Just be nice to see it on my laptop instead of my phone, but not $25/day kinda nice. And what’s up with a day pass at an airport anyway? Yeah, after I fly to Stapleton, I’m gonna come back and hang out in the airport and use up that wifi that I paid for a day of.
Tagged airline, rantWhen you read an article about your subject in the NYT Tuesday Science section, and realize they got it all wrong. Then you read the next article and think, “Wow, how cool that they figured that out.” Even though you know that those scientists are also tearing their hair out about how the NYT Science section got it all wrong.
Now, to make it pithy and rename it BWare’s law, or corollary, then find out that someone else already discovered it.
But that’s okay, because there’s already a named law that says that every named law was discovered by someone before the person whose name is attached to it.
As with all my photos, signed and numbered prints are available. I can make prints myself up to 17×22, and would prefer to, as that way I can oversee the whole process from start to finish to ensure quality. Bigger than that, and I have to send out. I can also do framing.
