I like screen oopsies
I've already posted this image today, but it was buried in a bunch of other stuff. Check it out: Funny. Especially given United's terrible check in service.
Perth for a conference
The TOWER Asia-Pacific annual conference is later this week in Perth (Wednesday to Friday). I have a couple of free hours here and there, mostly in the evening. If there is anything interesting happening in Perth later this week, could people drop me a line and let me know? Failing that, if you have a free day in Perth, what would you see? Rottnest Island?

Andrew is a loony
He hasn't slept in something like 48 hours now. He's a loony. On of the funnier parts of the trip over was listening to the Channel 9 "from the flight deck". Before they could take of the United plane insisted on burning off 1,000 pounds of fuel. How long did it take? 5 minutes of idling and driving around in circles. The airline was fairly ordinary though -- no screens in the back of seats. 5 inches of extra leg room for premium economy, but that only put them about 2 inches ahead of Qantas. Catering was nothing special. No little care package for during the flight. No face mask. I'd fly United again, but only if I didn't get to chose the airline. [tags: airline united]
Hotel Avante
Well, I got here. Nice hotel, nice staff on check in. Easy drive from the San Francisco airport for us foreigners. The San Francisco airport seems a lot nicer than the one in Los Angeles as well. [tags: hotel, avante]
Mental note: Avoid this airline
I hereby make a mental note to find out who this airline is, and avoid them like the plague. Four Two mac minis lost in one trip from luggage whilst in the care of the airline. [tags: theft luggage baggage handler]
Paul Allen’s Science Fiction Museum
Paul Allen's Science Fiction Museum sounds pretty cool. Next time I'm in Seattle... [tags: science fiction museum]
Les Catacombs
Oh, and I should one day go on the catacombs tour. [tags: catacombs]
Disused London Tube stations
Details unused London tube stations. I wonder if any of these have tours available? (Via Peter). [tags: tube station abandoned]
Ice hotels again
Oh, and there is an ice hotel in Canada too. [tags: hotel ice]
Ice hotel
The Swedish ice hotel seems pretty cool (no pun intended), and is a lot cheaper than I expected. Mental note -- if I ever end up in Sweden looking at the Northern Lights, then I should stay here. [tags: ice hotel]
