What if I'm not sitting at home in front of my computer?

Getting Away From it All
According to Jeff

Here is the plan. It is either the plan for my next road trip, or it is the plan from my most recent road trip.

Double Down in Vegas

Well, just because I lost my job doesn't mean I can't get out and enjoy a holiday. In fact, now I have even more time to kill. My new gig is in the TV industry. Every year the National Association of Broadcasters has a big industry trade show. So I'm going.

Another friend of mine said, "Hey, I'm going to 'Vegas too - for Interop." Interop is a week after NAB.

So what to do? Hang out in Las Vegas for an extra week? Nah. Since I'm already about half way there, I think I'll go visit another friend in Hawaii!

Yeah, that says two o'clock in the morning. Some people would call it Thursday night, but a friend of mine once showed up at the airport on the wrong day. I'm going to be asleep anyway. I might as well wake up in Hawaii!

Alas, TellMe has discontinued its experimental VoiceXML server. It used to work something like this (for archival purposes):
