This is the lowest thing I’ve done in quite some time so I figured I’d share:

If you’ve walked through 20 terminals without finding a single live power outlet, how unethical would it be to unplug the soda machine to refuel your laptop and cell phone batteries?

Just in case you’re against it, this piece of entertainment is courtesy of what will likely be a very warm can of Pepsi for an unlucky DFW traveler.

That’s freakin hilarious man – I think it should be looked upon innovative rather than wrong. Bastards gouge you for almost every ticket you buy, so why can’t they at least have some juice for the geeks in us?

That is too funny Vlad! How come you didn’t mention it earlier? Sorry you had to be a part of the SLAM today at the intersection. Dang, that was weird. How fortunate I was to have two men in the car that could jump out and take care of things.



E-Bitz - SBS MVP the Official Blog of the SBS "Diva" : The wall socket |

[...] The wall socket You walk to your boarding area scanning the columns, the walls, the nooks and crannies for this: The wall socket.  It’s the holy grail you search for.  So you can ensure that your batteries are fully charged before you enter that plane.  My hometown airport of Fresno now has a bench in the gate area that right around the corner of the bench is the plug in, and when my outbound plane was delayed, that’s where I sat on the laptop giving the status report to friends on IM. I’ve flown through airports where the wall plug ins had no juice, where they were down this connecting corridor (and that’s where I sat for 2 hours), where they were in pillars next to the seats…but I’ll be honest….while I’ve been tempted… I’ve never done this: http://www.vladville.com/2007/03/traveling-geek-morals.html Vlad… you didn’t…. oh yes you did didn’t you?

Don’t even get me started on DFW. They can’t air condition the planes at the gate when it gets hot enough, so you KNOW the sodas in the terminal are already warm. Charge away baby!!

Wow – I think you’d be shot for that in the UK. Last time I plugged into a completely unused socket at Stansted Airport security told me to unplug as I was stealing electricity.

[...] So someone at DFW caught my post about not being able to find a power outlet anywhere in the airport and bothered to wait for me at the gate! Nice to know American Airlines has nothing better to do than read my blog  Anyhoo, they were nice enough to talk to me about the Samsung deal and show me a facility in which they not only offered free lounge and wi-fi access but also had leather chairs and sofas.   [...]

Okay so maybe AT&T isn't so evil after all.... - MVPs |

[...] P.S. I think I found the only plug in in the entire C concourse part of the terminal.  One plug in is used for an extension cord for a Horizon/Alaska billboard, the other is MINE for the next hour.  For a while there I was starting to eye up coke and pepsi machines… [...]
