TECHNOLOGY ROCKS

Here I sit in the Sao Paulo airport, waiting to go home. I have been here for 5 hours. I’m bored.

I have caught up on my e-mail. I have eaten. I have checked my fantasy football score. I have lamented the loss of my beloved Fresno State Bulldogs. I finished my new book “Outliers” and have perused four other books on my Kindle. I have counted my mosquito bites.

And then it hits me. I am in frickening Sao Paulo! I am 6,534 miles from home.

I watched Fresno State play Nevada from my COMPUTER, LIVE last night. I CALLED my wife from my COMPUTER to check-in on my daughter who was in the hospital. She took a picture of her to make me feel better and e-mailed it to me while we were on the phone. I got it SECONDS LATER. On my way here the plane had WIFI. I could have checked my e-mail while traveling at 500 MPH @ 35,000 feet FOR FREE. I can choose from TENS OF THOUSANDS of books from my Kindle and download them instantly.

I mean really, WHAT AN EXCITING TIME WE LIVE IN (ok, no more caps to illustrate my excitement)! Opportunity. Innovation. Convenience.

Sometimes the most mundane of days can fill up your tank when you take a moment to look around.

Off to terminal 2…
