This is Tech

I am writing this quick post from Virgin flight 373 to San Francisco. This plane is tailor made for the tech set. First up, a power plug for my laptop. This means I am working at full brightness instead of scrimping to make my battery last through the flight. This has been a pet peeve of mine about other airlines for a while. If I can add AC power to my car, I don’t see what has taken airlines so long to make this upgrade.

Virgin has live satellite television in every seat. I am watching some MTV reality show called Parental Control, where a kids parents hate his girlfriend, so he gets set up on two blind dates with a girl that each of his parents pick for him. I am getting off track here, but it is hilarious.

The individualized touch screen entertainment system they have lets you rent movies, listen to albums, radio stations, and play games. This is the most enjoyable flight I have been on in a while. Oh, and did I mention it was only $185 round trip from Seattle.
