3 hours at VIE

November 15th, 2004

i’m sitting at the vienna international airport and have 3 hours to kill. my flight to moscow is delayed and instead of arriving at 0:45 in the morning, i’m now schedule to land at 3am. what a nightmare!

but the good thing is: VIE has free access to WiFi and so i can read emails, blogs and catch up on all the open webpages i’ve been keeping in safari.

it’s not official yet but as some kerry supporters are saying: it makes no sense for kerry to draw this out even further…

i cannot believe that bush won a second term. he is by far worse than his father! and bush sr. only got one term…

i really feel bad for the US because, i fear, the worst is yet to come… (and the world will suffer as a consequence)

iPod Mania

October 30th, 2004

john gruber’s take on the ipod is once again enlightning and spot on: Daring Fireball: iPod Mania (that’s the only way to counter paul thurrott: showing that his opinion in the past was always wrong…)
