Alaska Airlines, at least on this flight, is now offering free wifi.

I find it amusing that my emotional reaction, despite what I might have expected it to be, is one of "oh, there's that inconvenience taken care of--now where's my power plug?"

In which I temporarily make this sound more like a journal, or a research blog, than like the "hey, look at this cool and/or wrong thing!" postings that generally characterize this space.

As a final note, it appears that Corwin travels well: in the car he generally responds well to singing, and on the airplane he's just fine as long as you're prepared to bounce him up and down about 3 million times. :)
