When the lizard brain kicks in and the resistance slows you down, the only correct response is to push back again and again and again with one failure after another. Sooner or later, the lizard will get bored and give up.

Yaletown: The New Airport Lounge

I spend an hour or two every afternoon in a coffee shop in Yaletown.  I’ll grab a coffee, answer emails, and chat with all of the locals.

Yaletown is full of marketing companies, web development studios, and game development studios.  Pretty much everyone runs around with an iPhone and a MacBook.

Recently, I have been seeing a lot of Blackberries and Windows laptops.  Today, I was sitting next to a women holding a Blackberry with a cracked screen and a trackball that was only half working.  Her IBM Thinkpad was running Windows XP and IE6.

There was so many types of fail there I wanted to cry for her.

Then I noticed the carry-on bag and Air Canada ticket. (More fail with Air Canada, there.)  Suddenly, it hit me.  It only takes about 15 minutes by Skytrain from the Yaletown/Roundhouse Skytrain Station to YVR.

The coffee shops in Yaletown have essentially become an extended airport lounge.

The Flash Blog » The iPad provides the ultimate browsing experience?

Wow. That’s a pretty damning demo.

Which would have looked like this if it had been rendered in Flash instead of a JPEG:

Guess I’ll have to get used to the blue legos; until you get used to the rapidly accelerating irrelevance.
