Go Figure

I do tons of flying compared to most people. The last few years haven’t been as busy as normal, but for a while there I was getting on a plane on average of about once a month to go somewhere with work. I chronicled some of my trips over the last few [...]

California Bound, Once Again

It seems like just a few weeks ago that I was down in California with my sister. Strangely enough, tomorrow I’ll be making my way south once again, this time for WordCamp San Francisco [1].
While I’m pretty excited to go down and meet a lot of new bloggers and WordPress enthusiasts, I can’t say [...]

Entry #24: Qantus Jet Cracks Open In Mid-Air

I’m not a big fan of flying, so whenever I hear a story about a plane breaking apart in mid-air, I get a bit worried. Today a Qantus 747 [1] busted a hole in the fuselodge in mid-flight, causing the oxygen masks to come down and the pilots to execute an emergency landing.

Airports, Kelowna Bound

Here I am, stuck in an airport again. For a guy that doesn’t really like flying, I sure do fly a lot. It’s a completely miserable day here in Vancouver full of rain, wind, and dark, cloudy skies. I watched a plane take off about 20 minutes ago, and [...]

And Away We Go

Last night I met up with John [1] and Rebecca [2] to watch the hockey game down at Fogg ‘n Suds. I’m not super familiar with the Canucks line anymore, so being around super hockey Canucks people is a bit intimidating. That being said, I did manage watch some of the game [...]
