    Leaving an event in downtown Portland at 9:15pm to make a flight to London at 11pm... bets on whether I make it? #travel

    I consider air #travel only for emergencies and I generally have my own travel agenda, but what's the point of having me as your attachment-free #digitalnomad friend if I'm not going to drop everything and fly half way around the world to see you sometimes? https://rhiaro.co.uk/2019/04/nomad-friend

    Got to see a pretty amazing castle in Prague today! The weather wasn't great, but did walk up the hill and gained a surprising amount of elevation very quickly. This castle is visible from the rest of the city and it looks so far away. But then you can just walk right up to it.

    Turns out those Lime scooters are really not a good fit for the cobblestone streets of Prague

    The new eSIM in the iPhone XS has seriously been the best thing to happen to international travel. I just don't have to worry about how/where to get a data SIM anymore, and I have internet immediately when I land.

    welp Lyft is not in Prague, and Uber won't accept my Google Voice number and I don't have access to a regular phone number to sign up, so YOU WIN AGAIN public transit!

    Seems fitting to be watching an anime about time travel while on the plane back from Japan where I'm traveling back in time.

    I'll land in Portland a half hour before I left Tokyo, like the travel never happened!

    Two things that have made getting around #Tokyo extremely easy:

    1. Using the eSIM in my iPhone XS to activate a data plan on my phone without having to deal with finding a retail store to buy a real SIM card. Also was surprisingly affordable.
    2. Buying a Suica card and transferring it to my iPhone Wallet. The Suica card is used for getting on trains and subways, but also you can pay at vending machines and many retail stores as well! Once you have the card transferred you can top it up via Apple Pay! That means you can get around almost entirely without cash as a tourist!

    Just had a brief moment of panic, I coulda sworn I was supposed to be somewhere right now, then I realized I was, in fact, already on the plane.

    Everything is fine. Planes can fly with only 1 of 2 engines.

    This is literally whining on the yacht, but this First Class seat in an old Virgin plane has no foot storage, no cupholders, and the seat in front of me is too far away to reach stuff I put in the pocket without unbuckling my seatbelt. 😞 Help me @AlaskaAir you're my only hope.

    Once again, my backpack is heavier than my roller bag. This is what happens when I carry livestreaming gear to #IndieWebCamp Austin. #travel

    Wow, they're cancelling all the SEA->PDX evening flights due to the snow, and I just happened to impulsively change to an earlier flight when I was going to bed last night, so it looks like I'm gonna escape this just in time. #travel

    Whatever @zoom_us did to make their iOS app work on a plane, I am impressed. Sounds totally fine and I'm on a conference call from 35,000 feet.

    Remember when Palm Pilots had an IR transmitter and you could download a "universal remote" app and turn off any TV?

    I need that right now to turn off this annoying TV in the hotel bar.

    I went from being in 5 airports a week for the last six months to only leaving my house twice this week and Swarm is clearly concerned.

    No, Swarm, I really have been inside my house all day today.
