Why I Love Flying Virgin America Airlines

Chris — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 04:07:51 +0000

Why I Love Flying Virgin America Airlines is a post from Chris Pirillo

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

I recently flew on Virgin America airlines, for a trip to California. Traveling life doesn’t get much better than this, I’m telling you.

I had access to wireless Internet. I was able to watch some television via Hulu and even keep an eye on my Email. There was a USB plugin and a regular AC outlet right at my fingertips. Heck – I even had a nice glass of wine! The seats were actually comfy, and I had enough room for myself and my stuff.

Can you think of a better way to travel? Leave me a follow-up comment, and let me know what your favorite way of travel is. What airline do you prefer, and why? Do you even fly? Personally, I love to fly and I love to travel. Virgin America has it going on!

What Else can I put Under my USB Microscope?

What Else can I put Under my USB Microscope? is a post from Chris Pirillo

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

I reviewed the USB Microscope earlier in the day. I was checking out things like my own hair. Anyway, this gigantic house fly landed on Ponzi’s head a bit ago. So I decided I had to take a look at it under the microscope.

The quality of this microscope is just amazing. I have it on low magnification, and you can clearly see every tiny detail. It’s just unbelievable how good this thing really is. The clarity is so good, that just looking at this fly is grossing me out. I have the chills now! Want to see Mr. Fly?

What else can I check out with this microscope?

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
