Not only is it Shark Week on the Discovery Channel, it’s also Shark Week at the Florida Aquarium in Tampa! I’ve decided to dress for the occasion:

I know that these stories take place in the same “universe”, but still, the people behind the posters aren’t even trying anymore.
I’ve got a good relationship going with the person behind Tampa International Airport’s Twitter account, @FlyTPA. Whenever I check in, they always say “hi”, and it’s one of those things that makes TPA my favourite airport.
When I posted my article and photo about setting up shop at TPA this afternoon, I linked to it from Twitter. I got a “welcome” greeting, which after all these visits, is pretty much the norm when I arrive:
@AccordionGuy That’s a nice looking office, Joey. Have a productive afternoon!

But this time, I got an up-close-and-personal “hello” as well. Justin, the guy behind @FlyTPA, just came up to me, welcomed me to the airport with a handshake and a Moleskine notebook. It’s a little gesture, didn’t cost much, but it’s a level of customer relations I’ve never seen at an airport. Nicely done, guys. You’ve really got a fan now.
Justin and TPA, I salute you with a filet mignon on a flaming sword!

Setting Up Shop at Tampa’s Airport

I’m hanging out at Tampa’s airport until The Girl gets out of work and can pick me up. In the meantime, there’s work to be done, so I’ve set up shop in the newly re-furnished lounge, which has wifi that runs at decent-for-public speed (6 megs down, 16 up; I should broadcast a live streaming accordion show), and new tables and easy chairs, all bristling with three-prong and USB power jacks.

Poor fella. I know a couple of humans with the same problem.

Saw this on Bloor Street earlier today, and yup, the company’s real. They even have hats and T-shirts! I may have to order one.
If Vladimir Putin had an airline, the safety video it would show at the start of the flight would probably look something like this:
