Drew's production notes in OPML. Boiiiinnnggg!  When my plane landed in Seattle, I called the Dawn & Drew comment line. I had just listened to three D&D shows, and had the number, and just had to get in on the fun!  Thanks for all the great recommendations on minivans and cars. You guys are incredible. First thing tomorrow I'm going to collate the comments and publish them. Enough other people have similar transportation needs, so I'm sure you'll find it interesting.   Report from Sea-Tac, terminal A, gate 9, free wifi here too. Neat-o. Downloading my mail now, then off to baggage claim.   Report from Kennedy Airport, terminal 8, gate 22, there's free open wifi here. An unsecured wireless router named "linksys."  I was talking for a year about getting a new cellphone, finally the old one broke and I was ready for action. I had already asked enough people which works best, and wanted a service that worked in Europe so that pointed to AT&T with an inexpensive Nokia phone. Three weeks later, I'm still happy with the purchase. The service is a lot better. I've also been talking for the last year about getting a new car, and I'm not going to wait for the old one to break. Here's what I'm looking for, and I'm soliciting advice. 1. A large interior with lots of space for all the junk I move around. My SUV has a lot of space, but it's organized for four passengers, and I very rarely have more than two. 2. Decent gas mileage, but certainly not great gas mileage. 3. Excellent GPS navigation system. 4. Handles well, doesn't require alot of maintenence. So... all this put together suggests some kind of minivan, or maybe a smallish regular van. Any ideas?  Doug Kaye asks how IT Conversations can become financially self-sustaining.   NY Times: "Despite the best efforts of Hallmark and television channels rebroadcasting 'It's a Wonderful Life,' holidays have long been understood to represent an interpersonal minefield for some individuals and families, as much as a time for carols and warm reminiscences around a glowing hearth."  Interesting post on bandwidth, viewed from the server logs of a podcaster.  Today's a travel day. Leaving at 7:30AM Eastern, arriving before noon Pacific. Nice how the day stretches out going east to west.
