I left New Zealand on December 4 to travel up to the US for some consulting work and a conference. I had paid for an economy ticket on Qantas, and received an upgrade to the new business class, with the lie flat beds. It was ... awesome ... highly recommended!
My good friend Eric Mack met me at LAX. After lunch and coffee, we:
- Recorded a podcast on wireless devices from 1990s. Eric and I talk about pagers from NewsPager, SkyTel, and more (Podcast, 2.9MB, 12m40s)
- Attended a show at Medieval Times. From the gruesome and thought-provoking museum of torture, to the knighting event, to the jousting and one-on-one sword fights, it was an amazing show. I have never seen anything like this before ... you *have* to go!
- Recorded a second podcast on Eric's Tablet adventures. The last time I was here, back in June, Eric was having a few problems ... he was YAVATU (yet-another-very-angry-tablet-user) rather than the desired YABHTU. Things have improved, although he's still not at the desired place.
Thanks for the neat afternoon Eric, and I hope that gash improves quickly! Again, sorry!
'tis but a flesh wound.
Headache finally went away. We'll have to do that again.
Eric
