What fun I'm having up here at Corillian!  I love Portland anyway, but I'm really getting to give my brain cells a workout on this project.  That makes it oh so much better.

Since I'm up here over Memorial Day, my wife and I decided to make a family vacation out of it, and she and our 18-month-old son are flying up to join me.   We're looking to do lots of fun local stuff, like the beach and driving around Mt. Hood.

I blogged earlier in the week about playing with my GPS mid-flight.  It was a fun little diverision.  As I'm waiting for my wife's (two-hour-delayed) flight to come in, I thought it'd be fun to track her flight in real time online.  There are lots of sites around the web to do this, but FlightView seems to be a predominant one.  Very similar to the thing with my GPS, I don't see that the information is actually useful for anything, and it's ultimately about as exciting as watching paint dry.

It ultimately doesn't tell you anything the flight status page on the airline's website doesn't tell you, but it is kind of fun to look at that blip and say, "hey, my wife and kid are somewhere over Nebraska right now."
