En route to Taiwan

On a weekday morning, Terminal 1 is eerily empty. The agents at the counter are twiddling their thumbs, the security screeners sit around chatting, and there isn't a single occupied seat at some gates. I guess I didn't need to show up 3 hours early.

Free WiFi in Terminal 1, near Gates 170-180. Look for SSID: datavalet.

Grr, I forgot my digital camera cable, and this laptop doesn't have an SD reader. Boo.

Over 17 hours of flying, so I don't have much energy to write. Entertainment provided by:

• Eragon: forgettable Lord of the Rings wannabe featuring an ugly dragon
  
• Big Fish: charming Tim Burton movie about a father-son relationship interspersed with vivid tall tales
  
• Black Gold: The Dark History of Coffee by Antony Wild - I'm only done the first chapter and already feeling uneasy about drinking java.

Here's a cute sign at the airport:
