I don’t print out my boarding pass ahead of time because I’m lazy. Unfortunately, the airport on Monday morning was busy. There was a long line and it looked like there was a half hour wait. I’ve done this trip dozens of times so I know that there are some additional kiosks a short walk away. When I got to those kiosks I found that they were free.
Clearly, I was the beneficiary of an asymmetry of information. If everyone knew what I know everyone would have gone to the empty kiosks erasing my advantage.
It’s good to know that I can find an advantage at 5 AM Monday morning at Logan. I was beginning to doubt if I could find a good value situation to save my life.

“I think Microsoft is close to offering 33 cases of Zunes, an xBox and a copy of Guitar Hero for all of Yahoo.”
(Actually, I found the original quote at Techcrunch.com. The IRC version is better)
Since I can’t find time to actually post real stories on here, I have to resort to posting pictures and funny tidbits from IRC.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been traveling to Arkansas every week, and my life is pretty boring 4/7ths of the time. I’m going to try to make more frequent updates.
Here’s a picture for you. I like the Giraffe looking at the camera.
Fortunately, the woman also moved to a different seat. In this photo, I like the juxtaposition of the different animal prints.

Bloomberg has an article that speculates that the airlines will begin charging by passenger weight.
Airlines may report combined losses of $6.1 billion this year, the worst since 2003, the International Air Transport Association said yesterday in Istanbul.
The airlines need to find another operating model, because right now it is uncomfortable, arduous, and expensive for travellers and at the same time the airlines are losing money. There has to be a better way.
