MSP has a fun game on Concourse F {Gadling}
Jan 8th 2009 10:59AM BDL has a similar installation, and has for many years - since the new terminal opened up in 2000 or so. It's a fun time waster. ;)
Canadian gondola crash {Gadling}
Dec 17th 2008 1:23PM One correction: Whistler-Blackcomb is 177km outside of Vancouver - a little more than 100 miles, about a 2 hour drive.
Win a LaCie Rugged and iPod nano from PowerMax {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Dec 11th 2008 9:31AM The last disc I burned was a DVD of "The Star Wars Holiday Special." Let's say that it wasn't the highest quality hunk of junk to emerge from my burner, but it made for fun holiday party viewing.

Dec 2nd 2008 9:57AM The photo is from l'Arc de Triomphe, which is perfectly fine for taking photos of the gendarmerie.
Apple pulls Software Update for AirPort Extreme {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Oct 21st 2008 9:51PM I installed it when it came up in Software Update. Since the update, the signal strength on my Intel Mini has improved quite a bit: four bars almost all the time, rather than the typical three or two. I don't have any idea why Apple pulled it.
JetBlue to offer "happy hour" fares in DC this afternoon {Gadling}
Oct 7th 2008 1:53PM Reston is *not* Washington, DC! Sure, it's close to Dulles Int'l Airport, but it's not the District. I was getting excited that I could swing downtown to partake of this event, but Reston? That's a schlep from DC during rush hour.
The stingiest airlines are charging for water {Slashfood}
Aug 19th 2008 3:52PM +1 on the empty bottle tack, but I'd be careful about taking a Siig or other metal bottle, even empty. Most plastic bottles (Nalgene, Polar, Specialized Bicycle bottles, et al) make it through security in an empty state (even internationally) without incident, but metal bottles give some security systems pause, and can be tough to get through. Especially given that Siig bottles closely resemble white gas fuel bottles (part of standard backpacking/camping fare), some security agencies will not allow metal bottles of any kind through as drinking vessels.
I usually travel with a pair of bicycle water bottles in the pockets of my backpack. I can easily fill them at a water fountain or bathroom sink. If I need ice, I'll pay a small fee for a soft drink cup full of ice from one of the food vendors on the concourse.
