Blogger Lost Another Post

I just wrote another post and it disappeared when I upgraded part of the site on the Blogger.com interface. Second time that's happened. Guess they're busy cashing the checks they received from Google instead of fixing bugs.

Anyway, I said the following:

1) Detailed how United Airlines was wasting money at LAX. In a 10 minute period going through customs, I saw 6 unnecessary employees. That's hundreds of thousands of $'s per year -- not even commenting on the horrible attitudes of the flight attendants during the flight from Auckland to the States. It's not that hard to see this stuff, but their management clearly doesn't care or is inept to see the problems.

2) Checked out the relative success of an LAN gaming cafe here in San Francisco (i.e. a bunch of computers connected together by a network with games where you charge $5 an hour for people to play). Compared it to Starbucks (which does about $550k per location gross) and commented that the LAN cafe isn't doing too bad. The place I saw had ten kids playing at 10pm on a Monday night. If they're averaging $50 an hour for 10 hours a day, 350 days a year, they're not doing terribly bad.
