I am a little amazed that a package can arrive in Alaska one afternoon and be delivered in the middle of Massachusetts a day later. The most amazing part is that it was scanned at 06:08 in Boston, but sent back on a truck at 06:34 towards the local depot, and made it onto the delivery truck at 07:43. After dealing with both FedEx and UPS being unable to tell me whether a package is on or not on a truck, that level of coördination is astounding.

I'm using 4G mobile technology for the first time ever, at Boston's Logan airport. It is underwhelming compared to getting off of a plane at Narita and checking my eMail over a 3G connection for the first time.

Boston's MBTA has apparently expired all Charlie (stored value) cards in a belated response to the widely published insecurity of them. The worker I asked about it blamed "those MIT kids".
