I’m in Omaha, Nebraska for a business meeting. This is the first time I’ve traveled for business since I went to JavaOne in San Francisco in 2000.

Getting across the border was uneventful; they didn’t ask me any real questions. The flight was comfortable enough. I flew United this time. One of their armrest-audio channels is the aircraft’s radio; you can listen in to all the air traffic controller chatter. That was pretty neat; Ted would probably freak listening to it.

Omaha (from what I’ve seen at least) is surprisingly pretty, at least at night. There’s tall well lit buildings and a cool-looking stadium called Qwest Center. It contrasts a lot of Denver (all I saw was the massive airport on a huge flat plain; farther out I could see a mass of suburbia). I didn’t bring my cool camera but I have one on my PDA so I’ll try and take some shots tomorrow
