thank you, virgin atlantic!

I’m sitting in Terminal 4 at JFK, eating an unhealthy dinner of KFC chicken strips, and taking advantage of the free Wifi coming out of the Virgin Atlantic lounge, above me.

My flight for Dubai leaves in two hours. I have a window seat, which is good. I have the phone number of a friend’s cousin in Dubai, which is also good. I have a comfortable neck pillow, a fully-charged iPod, several magazines and books, and 12.5 hours to kill.

See you on the other side…

it's not over 'til it's over (sponsored post)

It turns out that since I started the Marqui program a month later than the other bloggers, my contract extends for a month longer than theirs. So while I probably won’t sign another contract, you’ll be seeing a few more posts from me while I complete the terms of this contract.

I’ll use part of that time to berate them about their web site. I wanted to use a screen shot as part of a series of “software as service” examples in my talk this week (along with Basecamp and TypePad), but I couldn’t find a single page that had a clear enough message that I could put the screen shot up there and have it mean anything. Feh.
