On Friday I ordered a new PowerBook from Apple. They had a deal to double the memory (to a gig!) for an additional forty bucks, while other online stores offered a free inkjet printer (I'm thinking that a free inkjet is like getting a free electric heater from the power company). Checking the Fedex tracking number I see that my little computer has a big journey ahead of it. So far it has travelled from Taoyuan City, Taiwan out to the CKS International Airport (which has a nice little website). It is most likely winging its way eastward for a stop in Indianapolis.

At the last job I made an app which plotted package shipment waypoints on a map. Amazon shipments were predictable, but others were more interesting to watch. Too bad you can't accrue frequent flier credit for miles your purchases have flown.
