Even my ‘bad’ experience with Southwest has been better than my ‘good’ experiences with US Air.
My 15” MacBook Pro is no longer under warranty and for whatever reason, OSX Lion would not install. I took a quick trip to Fry’s to grab a Patriot 240GB Solid State Drive (SSD), a Kingston 8GB RAM kit, and a kit with the right screw driver to open the case. Cracking open the case and installing the new components was easy. I restored from my time machine backup and my computer FLYs now. My Windows VM almost wouldn’t run before. Now it screams and scored a 4.9/7.9 (7.8 on the hard drive). All-in, it was about $500, but I have $120 worth of rebates yet to redeem. I highly recommend this to anyone out there!

I had my wallet open. Credit card out.
And you failed me.
9 = 3 + 1 = 5 + 1? I don’t think so. Anyone else getting this behavior in iOS 5?
“The individuals who linked arms and actively resisted, that in itself is an act of violence,” UC police Capt. Margo Bennett said. “I understand that many students may not think that, but linking arms in a human chain when ordered to step aside is not a nonviolent protest.
Following her logic…
“OPEN THE FUCKING SAFE RIGHT NOW OR WE’RE GOING TO LINK ARMS IN A HUMAN CHAIN, MOTHERFUCKER! SAY WHAT AGAIN! I DARE YOU! I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU!”
“Police report that the battered woman, whose name is being withheld for her safety, was terrified that her husband would link arms in a human chain.”
“I am here today to stand up against bullying and violence in all its forms. Someone has to say ‘enough!’ Enough standing quietly in a line and linking arms.”
“Tonight, we have horrifying footage of police standing in a line and linking arms around motorist Rodney King…”

If there was any justice in the world, this woman would have already been fired for having such a profoundly twisted concept of violence, non-violence, and protesting. She is unworthy of the public trust.

At last, we’re in Paris! After months of planning followed by weeks of packing and lugging our suitcases from one airport to another, we have finally reached our destination: an adorable 410 sq foot apartment in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.
Our first week here has been spent in jetlagged awe…

Things that make you say, “What the f**k?”
WiFi AND power? American Airlines is making up for the puddle jumper on this leg :)
On my way to LAX from SAN. I’m sure a smaller plane exists somewhere. The Spirit of St. Louis comes to mind.
