  1. Just booked an Avis rental car for a day out of LAX -- $19 daily rate, $15 in taxes & surcharges. 44% of the cost is in taxes & surcharges!
  2. Why are the all taxis in DC such dumps?
  3. @skooljester Why don't you guys start researching design requirements for a home recording studio?
  4. @skooljester Sure if you're willing to put some sweat equity into it...
  5. USAToday writes about rental car taxes getting jacked up (http://usat.me/?36695724), agreeing with a recent TravelCommoms posting
  6. New TravelCommons #podcast-skipping rental cars, WiFi vs 3G, LAX security, and white noise applicationshttp://is.gd/4KZbX
  7. Upgraded to iTunes v 9.0.2 this am. Apple appears to have finally fixed the problem of iTunes not recognizing an iPhone in 64-bit Win7.
  8. Is Wolfgang Puck's purposely pushing the smell of their cooking bacon into Terminal 7? Must...resist...the...urge...
  9. @docsmooth No, it's integrated in with the XM Radio. The voice recognition was very good. I've only seen MS Sync on Ford cars.
  10. Pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to pair my iPhone to the hands-free in my rental Camaro. Saved me tickets/accidents on LA freeways.
  11. @carljw116 Agreed -- my treat!
  12. @carljw116 I'm a big 5 Guys fan. I've eaten @ the Center City Phila & Rehoboth Beach places. They've now opened places in Chicago.
  13. @carljw116 I haven't tried Fat Burger yet -- where are they located? Their name sounds a bit redundant.
  14. Had an In-N-Out burger animal style for lunch. I can now leave LA full and fulfilled http://is.gd/4HzaW
  15. Pew study shows Amtrak lost $32/passenger in '08, but made $41/passenger on the East Coast's Acela Express http://is.gd/4GvwM
  16. Avis gave me a new red Camaro at LAX. Had fun screaming north up the 405. Was Avis reacting to my rental car rant (http://is.gd/4G876)?
  17. 0 for 2 using mobile check-in apps on this trip. Couldn't check into Southwest with my iPhone. Luckily I'm flying Biz Select so no worries
  18. @carljw116 Thanks... I think. I'm a living testament to the words of the prophet Indiana Jones- "It's not the years, it's the mileage"
  19. If you want to see what I spend most of my waking hours working on... http://is.gd/4D8D9
  20. Frustrated with American Airlines' mobile on-line check-in. Lets me choose better seats but the selection won't stick. Disappointing.
