Asymptomatic

Mark Jaquith is on stage at blogOrlando presenting WordPress, answering questions. It's nice to have a dev doing a presentation on the east coast. Very personable guy.

I encourage you other bloggers to get out and meet some of the folks that are involved in you software's development. Everyone's really approachable, and sometimes it's nice to get out from behind the impersonal communication of the mailing list to get a feel for what people are really thinking.

I'm not sure what's going on with air travel today. With a bus, you just get on and go. While I realize that the procedure is going to be different with a vehicle that travels in the sky, the typical bottleneck for flights had always been more the baggage screening, not the waiting in the terminal.

I think the girl sitting next to me has one of those open tickets where there has to be a free seat for her to ride. But since they asked for five volunteers to get bumped from this overbooked flight, I think she's gonna be waiting around a bit longer.

People behave strangely when boarding, too. They board when the wrong zone is called. As if that doesn't cause a bottleneck. Though I'm not convinced that following the rules would get us on board any faster....
