Cool, just heard Radiohead's "15 Step" on the PA at DFW

Boarded now and ready for the final flight home. "Flight Attendants prepare for crosscheck."

In the terminal at TSAIA waiting to board. Getting really tired & we've got about 12 hours of travel time ahead of us.

We've got a couple of cranky, whiney toddlers, a handful of grouchy retirees and 30 people heading to Mexico, it should be exciting! Hopefully we'll catch some shuteye on this redeye!

Myspace, you're dead to me... Eeven in Alaska!

It's sad really. I met my wife on myspace, I put my band together on myspace and even made a considerable amount of money on deals fostered through relationships that started on myspace. But Myspace fell behind. It became bogged down with elndless self promotion from bands and web cam girl spam bots. And now as I sip Glacier Mint Tea in Kaladi Brothers in Downtown Anchorage, AK surrounded by bearded Alaskan Hipsters on their iPhones it becomes clear; Myspace, you're dead to me. Twitter and Facebook will most likely meet the same end but for now they're totally on top, Even in Alaska.

 (No offense to any Alaskan natives or transplants, I just realized everyone here has an iPhone and and not everyone voteed for Sarah Palin.)

Honeymoon Day 5: Ketchikan

Posted via web from Joe Shockley

Pulling out the port of Skagway... Off to Glacier Bay!

We're leaving Skagway after a long day of taking a train to The Interior & B.C, Canada, walking a sky bridge and touring a gorgeous organic garden & cafe, plus hanging with some locals in downtown Skagway and drinking spruce ale high in Vitamin C! Great day! The next two days we're glacier teritory, no cell towers so we'll catch up in a few days!

Honeymoon Day 4: Day At Sea

A Whale of a Good time...

We saw 7 or 8 Humback whales today, it was truly awe inspiring. One of them breached 3 times out of the water... Even our tour guides were suprised. It was a really cook site. Of course my battery died it the good camera while trying to capture all of that so that sucked. All in all a great day!

In Ketchikan, Alaska: zipplined for the 1st time this morning...

It was cold, wet & Awesome! We saw a black bear. We walked in the rain around town, met some cool locals and watched salmon do their thing heading upstream. Now it's time to warm up, dry off, grab lunch and maybe catch star trek at the ship theatre. Plenty of pictures to come. Next stop Juneau!

Leave it to the Tech Guy to totally blank out & forget about AT&T not being in Canada.

And at $15.00 a MB using Rogers is not an Option! Fortunately WiFi is strong in our Hotel.
