Views From the Space Needle

Posted by Travel Blogger on Feb 22, 2010 in hotel accomodations |

While here in Seattle I had the chance to head up to see the Space Needle. I totally forgot my phone (with camera) and an actual camera so I won’t be getting any pictures for you this trip. I really enjoyed the photos from my NYC excursion up the Empire State Building (click through and check those out if you’ve not seen the AMAZING views that day in New York City.)

Since I know I’ve let you down by not having any pictures of my own to show you, I’ll instead insert a link to lead you to a View From the Top of the Space Needle. And live no less!

I’m not incredibly savvy on these things, but how ever they are doing it, it is very cool. You can even move the view around nearly 360 degrees. I just think that’s about the coolest thing ever. Makes me happy for some reason. Of course, you’ll see whatever is happening live when you look at that page. It will likely be even more fabulous than what I got to see.

Given that it’s President’s Day, I’ve no meetings scheduled for the day. Really just getting caught up on sales paperwork. Well, not paperwork in the historical sense. ePaperwork, I suppose. Have to make sure my orders and various other data is input into the virtual private network back to the company.

That’s something else I always look for in any business travel hotel I stay at: good, solid WiFi coverage. Cannot tell you how many times in the past I’d get stuck with “free Internet” coverage only to find out that the only room available was in a dead zone. Made me feel like those creepy (in a fun, entertaining way) Verizon Wireless commercials.

When running on the VPN, you need to have extra bandwidth, they tell me, for all of the added security layers or protocols or the armored Brinks truck that hauls our data to the home office. Well, I get that extra pipe here. And boy am I happy to have it.

Heading home late tomorrow night. Looks like my flight is getting into PHX pretty late, so I might consider staying overnight and driving home Wednesday morning. We shall see.
