30K In the Air

Technology is pretty amazing.  I remember when I first experienced in flight entertainment.  It was amazing.  Now, I will write this post and publish it all while sipping on a diet coke 30000 feet in the air.

I’m not sure exactly how they do it, but I assume they are using cell towers.  I could probably figure it out by searching the internet (yea, we get everything up here!), but I’d like to see if I can get WoW to work.

The only down side to flying on the Boeing 737 or Airbus 319/320 class of planes is that they don’t have power outlets.  I believe the 757 and 747 have power outlets.  That would be amazing!

The reason I’m writing at the moment, is that weather in Atlanta caused around half of the flights out of LGA (Laguardia, NY) to be canceled yesterday.  Some negotiations with Delta representatives got me on an 11:30am out of EWR (Newark, NJ).  The upside is that I am now flying first class.  I would like to add that if you are ever in Jersey City, the Westin there is a fantastic hotel.  Very comfortable and fairly spacious amenities.  The shower is a dual headed shower, which was also amazing.

Ok, battery life is precious on this monster of a computer.  I may have to switch over to my work computer depending on how fast WoW drains the battery life.

These have been random thoughts from 30k In the Air.

Holy stop-motion/time-lapse!
