    Do you know how boring it is to have to kill time on an airplane?

It's only boring because of the limitations. If I could talk on a phone, use my computer and consume media uninterrupted and without annoying those around me, it wouldn't be a limitation. You can do most of those things on an airplane but not without being that guy. If you had a car, and you were the only passenger and it drove you to your destinations... you could be SO MUCH MORE PRODUCTIVE. At least I could. I am hunting for time these days. There's so much to accomplish and so little time.

I drive a L-O-T. I'm about to drive for 10 hours straight tomorrow. 10 hours. That's not meditative, that's obnoxious :)
