By now everyone’s aware of this morning’s sobering top news story and the widespread reports of airline passengers experiencing massive delays at the nation’s airports.

 

For what it’s worth, I just arrived at San Jose’s Mineta Airport and truth be told I didn’t need to wait very long at the security lines at all. Airline personnel told me that earlier today, the lines were indeed very long — up to 90 minutes or more, and they cautioned that as this evening’s flight schedule neared, they expected the lines to grow longer than they were when I got here (3:00pm).

Part 2 of the story, the very reason I find myself traveling at this time, is that today marks the end of VoIP Developer Conference 2006. By all accounts the show was successful, and as always I was glad to be a part of the experience. I have to admit that the VoIP Developer events are among my favorite conferences of the year.

 

With that I leave you with these final thoughts as I prepare to take off from San Jose: Travel safely! I look forward to seeing you at future TMC events. Our next show is Internet Telephony Conference & EXPO West, October 10–13 in San Diego, CA.
