The flight was uneventful. I read a chunk of Peter Morville's new book Ambient Findability. Catchy subtitle on the cover: What We Find Changes Who We Become. This was a fitting read under the glow of the real-time GPS-driven flight progress map. The flight arrived 30 minutes early, but my main luggage ended up on a later flight. It won't arrive at the W Hotel until sometime between 10:30pm and midnight. Nice. And despite the hotel's slogan, "Wish. Command. Whatever/Whenever," they won't call my room when the luggage arrives. Policy is no calls after 11pm. Hey, there's a purple Etch-A-Sketch on the desk in my room. I wonder if it's metered.
