First airport – Portland International Airport. Which offers free wifi, covers most of the airport gates and lobbies. When you first turn on your computer, you will see this:

Second airport – Orlando International Airport. Wifi? What wifi, they simply don’t offer it.

Third airport – Salt Lake City. It is a bigger airport than PDX, and they do offer wifi. But this is what I find funny. They have whole bunch of flyers, posters, telling people how great the airport is, they offer wifi! Yet it’s just the same thing as Starbucks “hotspot” wifi service, where you have to pay something like $10 for 24 hours.

Verdict: PDX wins all. Free wifi everywhere!

UPDATE:
Upon Mizuki’s question of what other airport offers free wifi, I also found a list of free wifi offered in oregon. [Link]

First of all, I will have to apologize to all of you for my rudeness at several occuasions. I have never planned an event with this many people, so the frustration when something doesn’t go as planned overwhelmed me.

It was truely too bad that the weather wasn’t very good, i guess we were lucky enough to experience Sunriver rain, which happened rarely. I am considering making this into an annual trip, but nothing certain yet, and we will find out next year. But if we do it next year, it will be sometime in the end of May or June.

Tour http://www.spacetuna.com/2005/02/15/panic-inc-tour/ http://www.spacetuna.com/2005/02/15/panic-inc-tour/#comments Tue, 15 Feb 2005 18:03:13 +0000 http://www.spacetuna.com/2005/02/14/panic-inc-tour/ After celebrating Eric’s birthday and Valentine’s day at Hot Pot City, Les kindly took us to Panic and showed us around.

The tour was rather exciting, especially since we have already heard so much about it – The 7-men team that develops some of the best Mac software out there (Transmit, Unison, and CandyBar). Unlike most working places, Panic is a fun place to work according to Les, “I have to put on my headphone so I can get work done, otherwise I’ll just keep laughing because my coworkers are too funny,” said Les. Panic started out with two people developing Audion at their own apartment,but since then the workforce has more than tripled (to seven people) and has international relations (with Japan).

The headquarter is located in Pearl District of Portland, with overpriced condos and classy furnature stores surrounding it, Panic is a rarity in its location. The clean hallway and uber tall ceiling elevator, it all leads to the firm that makes power apps for Mac. One picture means a thousand words, I have 34,000 words then.

Oregon State University – 奧勒岡州立大學- 美麗的校園, 優良的風氣, 學生佔了整個城市人口的25%. Corvallis (谷心鎮) 算是道道地地的大學城吧. 光是OSU就可以舉出十個地方, 可是要講的不是學校而是這個小鎮.

Downtown (1st and 2nd Street) – 這算是比較老的商店街. 一街就靠在河畔, 所以風景很漂亮.

Bento – 在這裡最道地的中國菜館. 小小的一家裡面只有四張小桌子, 裡面有十個人的時候就算超擠了. 價位比其他的餐館低, 給的菜也比其他的多, 做出來的菜也比較類似台灣的. 這家小餐廳就在學校的旁邊

Tarn Tip – 也是另一家餐館, 是泰國菜. 除了好吃好吃真好吃以外, 真的不知道怎麼形容. 如果你有機會到的話, 一定要點Crispy Chicken. 這家餐廳也在學校旁邊.

Dutch Bros. Coffee – 位於學校旁邊的一家新開的咖啡廳. 氣奮跟Starbucks完全不同. 比較沒有那麼的Classic而有點Modern. 每天6AM開到12AM, 有免費的wi-fi.

Borders – 一家書店, 有事沒事就去看一下. 現在裡面的咖啡廳正在整修.

Shari’s – 美國餐廳, 食物沒什麼特別的, 服務也不怎樣, 可是是唯一營業24小時的餐廳. :sad:
