I am writing this from an SAS flight between Copenhagen and Beijing, somewhere over Siberia. Boeing’s Connexion service is available (though this is an Airbus A340) and since it is free for now, I just had to try it.
I don’t know about you, but I think it is pretty damn fascinating that you can read and send email messages 10000 feet up in the air somewhere east of the Ural mountains. The response time isn’t that bad either, and the sorry excuse I have for a mail server actually sends the messages from up here, as opposed to from the Copenhagen SAS lounge, where I spent a few hours delivering i talk via videoconference.
Anyway, I am on my way to Beijing to teach at the Ericsson China Academy, four days on IT management (with a translator, since only half the class understands English.) Wish me luck. I’ll need it.
Blogging a mile high. I just can’t get over it….

I share the fascination that you have had in the plane from my office here in Oslo.
I was in Bejing in 1998 and it was a fantastic trip. I was almost the only one that didnt sleep in the plane over Siberia and Himalaya. I suppose you have landed now, and I wish you good luck with your speaks.
