I resisted for as long as I possibly could, but I finally broke down and decided to become a twitterer (tweeter??).

I know, I know – I’m way late to the party. However, in the week or so I’ve been fooling around with the micro-blogging service, I’ve found it easier to post links to interesting articles. It’s also easier to toss out half-baked ideas. Time will tell whether I stick with it…

Nevertheless, for those of you feeling so inclined, you can follow my twitter feed @RobertSalomon.

My apologies for the recent radio silence. I was traveling for the better part of the month of August – first on business, then enjoying a bit of vacation time with the family.

Still in the midst of that travel. Will return to a more regular posting schedule upon my return after Labor Day, …but I just couldn’t resist the temptation to post this short note from 39,000 feet in the air on a plane traveling between New York and San Francisco.

I am increasingly marveled by the ubiquity of connectivity. I’m hard pressed to think now of a place where the internet is unavailable. Airplanes were seemingly the last remaining preserve – protected from internet infiltration. No more!

What’s more, I’m writing this post with my relatively new-ish technological toy: the iPad. So far I love it, though the highly-publicized flash clash incompatibilities drive me a little crazy sometimes.

That aside, if you would have told me last year that I’d be writing a blog post on an airplane with a handheld tablet computer, I’d have called you crazy. Amazing!

UPDATE IN THE INTEREST OF FULL DISCLOSURE: While I was able to draft this post on the airplane with the iPad, for whatever reason (either because of some issues with WordPress, the iPad’s compatibility with WordPress/flash, or the wireless service on the airplane) I was not able to actually post the message from the plane. It needed to wait until my return. Hence, the delay in posting. Technology. Go figure.
