I Miss BBC NewzQuiz with Sandi Toksvig

Saturday, December 20, 2008 

It is one of my favorite shows. It is replaced by The Now Show, which is better than The Man Show but not nearly as funny as good as NewsQuiz. How will I keep up with snarky British politics now?

Why do I spend so much time in Guelph? Because we just don’t get weather like this in Oakland…

RCC at ORD B18

Friday, December 5, 2008

The RCC at Gate 18 in Chicago Ohare is really nice.  It’s smaller than, but as nice as a lot of international lounges.  The features I care about most and have been pestering UAL for for years (literally) have all been implemented now:
  • Power outlets at every seat.
  • Concordia espresso makers like in Europe that actually use coffee for coffee
  • Free WiFi (this has been US wide for a year).
For a couple of years I’d fill out a complaint card every single time I visited an RCC (about twice a week all year, so about 100 cards a year for 2-3 years) asking for these three things, then email 1k and GS voice and beg and plead.
This is very nice.  Uh oh, better run for the plane…
