Yesterday was one of those days at work when I felt like I should work for free. I had a meeting in Greenville, NC - just a short 1.5 hour flight and another 2 hour drive out to the customer. I was driving down to ATL at 6am kind of dreading the day…driving, security, waiting, flying, driving, meeting, driving, security, waiting, driving…and finally home. Now granted, I only really had to “work” about an hour and I was talking about DVR and HD consumer adoption, something I probably already do in my sleep.
So I am really not looking forward to almost a 2 hour drive in a rental car without any entertainment. I go to pick up my car and I have a Pontiac SUV of some sort, but no satellite radio. I love XM and I will discuss it in another post, but I could not travel that long without satellite radio. I went back to the counter and asked if they had anything with satellite. The guy checked his computer and said “All I have is a convertible. Is that okay?” Yep, I played it cool and casually said “Well, if that is all you have, I guess I will take it.” I took my ticket, confirmed there was no daily rate change ($46…check) and headed out to space 517.
Mine was black, but you get the idea.
Let me set the stage for you. In Raleigh, where I landed, it was 65 degrees and climbing fast. The sun was out and a few big fat clouds were lazily sliding by. It was a great day for a convertible and I had a long drive and I had satellite radio AND I was technically “working.” May 7th was moving in the right direction.
Needless to say, I spent the day with the top down and Mother Nature running her fingers through my hair. It was an unexpected great day. I did not like being alone to enjoy it, but that is an occupational thing I am used to and I have to accept it. I turned the all 80’s station up as loud as I could and set the cruise control to 74 and let the NC countryside speed by.
A good day.
The only downside was that I had to fly home with my voice a little hoarse from singin’ 80’s tunes all afternoon and my hair blown to heck, a la Kevin Bacon in Footloose. I am going to request satellite radio every time I rent and see if I can get this experience again.

My friend and I were recently discussing about how technology has become so integrated in our day to day lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory decreases, the possibility of transferring our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about all the time.
