3am, my old nemesis; We meet again. But this time, the advantage is … Well, still yours. I slept until about 9:30, which seemed OK at the time, but here at the wrong side of 3am, seems like a mistake.…

Something I Forgot From The Los Angeles To Indianapolis Flight
This was a Delta Airlines flight, who, it seems, are trying to make their flight safety videos more interesting so that people will actually watch the damn things. They seem to have a bunch, so here’s the one I saw.…

Root Beer, Cellphones, Cavernous Halls & Alterna-VIG; Wrapping Up Day One
Once I got to my room, I had a lot of shower, because I really needed it. Felt much better afterwards, so I took a walk to the mall through a mostly-empty Convention Centre to see whether I could find…

Hit With A Zeppelin Full Of Snooze
The first couple of nights back in NZ, I didn’t sleep so well. Sunday night, however, I must have finally burned through the adrenaline & excitement of Holiday 2014, because I went to bed at 7:30pm-ish, and resurfaced, unwillingly, at…
