My buddy Cameron has recently moved back to Atlanta and started doing quite a bit of travel for work. He tipped me off to a very compact power strip, ideal for airports like Newark where there are plugs, but they are always occupied. Now with mini-power strip in hand I'll be able to convince folks to share their electron stealing with me when I'm in need of a bit of juice in the laptop.

Thanks Cam!

I'm sitting in EWR (Newark Liberty International Airport) hating life.

I had a 7:30 PM flight to Atlanta. Being the savvy traveler I managed to get on an earlier flight via a same-day confirmed seat on Delta. The flight was scheduled for 6:07 PM but due to delays was expected to leave by 6:30 PM.

Then 7:10 PM.

Then 8:40 PM.

Now it's estimated departure time is 9:35 PM.

My original flight left around 8:10 PM.

I screwed myself tonight...

After leaving the Heartland Brewery I met up with Chris Prosise, Will Chan — two of the Foundstone founders — and Eric Heitzman, an old coworker for dinner at OG in the East Village. We had a great dinner and then headed down the road to Burp Castle for some beers. Going to places like OG and Burp Castle remind me why I love NYC. Hearing what my coworkers pay for rent reminds me why I will never, ever live there.

It was great seeing some of the old Foundstone gang again. I miss these guys, their intellectual curiosity and just hanging out with them. Foundstone has changed as the old guard has slowly left and new folks come on board. Its not bad... its just different.

Off to waste 3 hours at Newark International Airport while I wait for my flight...
