Was I a better partner before Orbitz? Or just a schmuck in lower-tech ways?Doctor Clevelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326408523926507003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-20823780837138589232010-06-01T20:01:55.570-05:002010-06-01T20:01:55.570-05:00Looking forward to seeing you there!

At the previous meeting (2008), there was wifi in the book-exhibit/lounge; with any luck that'll also be the case this year.Shanehttp://cliotropic.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-30823099532590807162010-06-01T10:30:44.337-05:002010-06-01T10:30:44.337-05:00I was in the Buckeye State just a month ago, drivi...I was in the Buckeye State just a month ago, driving from top to bottom, and from bottom to center, listening to just that song (and two others by the always-fabulous Ms. Hynde). And I noted that in most mid-sized cities, there are indeed a lot of empty downtowns full of abandoned buildings. Heaven for me and my camera, but heartbreaking at the same time.<br /><br />My favorite useless Orbitz intervention is when they robo-call your cell phone to tell you your connecting flight status while you're still on the other flight. Sure, the robot calling me doesn't know this, but it always strikes me as funny when I listen to the exhortations that are about an hour too late for me to do anything about them if I needed to.Notorious Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08700875559325201086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-72236429797067374672010-06-01T08:48:03.380-05:002010-06-01T08:48:03.380-05:00Wow! and then will you blog the little berks?Wow! and then will you blog the little berks?Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09716705206734059708noreply@blogger.com
