I’ve been here about 48 hours now, so my initial reactions are swirling. Keep in mind they’re reactions, not facts.
1. Crocs are EVERYWHERE. Men, women, and children. I spotted about a dozen and a half Crocs on my flight (not kidding).
2. Men are gorgeous. And they frequently like to walk around town without their shirt [...]

Depart from Palm Beach International Airport. In the middle of boarding, they had to re-assign about 10 rows of seats. Apparently a different plane came in and the seat numbers were different, so they had to re-assign about 20 people. There was the token grouchy woman that yelled at the gate agent who then proceeded [...]

I even have it in my blurb on the front page of my website (and for the record, have had it there for quite some time.) But really, why all the sudden buzz around “innovation”?

Banners don’t work too well, right?
It’s not nice to be interrupted by an ugly banner when I’m in the middle of looking for something completely different. We can agree on this, correct?
Then again, banners are merely advertising. Albeit not a very effective form of advertising, but if you’ve got the budget, you may do what [...]
