The truth is, not many people are really okay with not doing what makes them come alive. They may do a good job pretending they don’t care, but they do. And as for the people that have figured it out, it probably wasn’t easy for them. They probably made a lot of dumb mistakes and stumbled around before they found their path.

It’s funny – every time I go through airport security now, I think of Ryan Bingham in Up in the Air, especially since I can identify with many of his practices, be it how he packed his bags or how he accumulates miles. But there were a few other things that that weren’t covered, presumably since the story was based on domestic flights. I thus put together a quick list of some of the other things that I tend to do when I’m on the road, which of course tends to be internationally-focused instead:

To them, all cables are the same.

As a non-practicing network engineer, this is cool as heck.

Uh oh…..
