In LA
I just got in on an early morning flight.
I have to say that I really like Delta, at least that flight. Leaves Florida at 7 AM and gets me in to LA at 9 AM, non-stop (the American non-stop leaves at 9:15 and gets in at 11). Comfortable, not too packed (empty seat next to my window) with DirecTV on the seat back, which allowed me to follow the war on Fox and CNN.
Too bad I'm an elite flyer with American.
Probably not much blogging--I've got a lot of work to do over the next couple days, then I'm driving to Vegas tomorrow night or early Friday morning for the conference. Maybe some live blogging from there, though, wireless permitting.

Can you turn off the TV? I've flown with viewscreens on the seatbacks which flashed from time to time so you'd have to look up and catch the commercial. Talk about a captive audience. I now fly with a pack of large poste pads so I can cover the screen with them to get some sleep.

Yes, there's a power switch on it. I didn't try it, though.
It also had movies for purchase and games.

I haven't seen any wireless here yet. The rooms are capable if you want to pay. They say they charge per laptop per room, so come prepared.

I'm not staying at the Flamingo. But what I need is wireless in the conference session if I'm going to live blog it.

No wireless in the conference room, unfortunately, although there are a couple tables in the back with wired (Ethernet) Internet access; that's what I'm using at the moment.

Then the wireless problem is easily fixed with a router. I can bring one up from Fry's...
