Madness Monday - Free Wi-Fi On An Airplane?

This weekend I had one of those first in a lifetime experiences. Hopefully it wasn't a once in a lifetime experience! After settling in for my Alaska Airlines flight, an announcement was made that went something like this:

...we hope you enjoy complementary wi-fi on your flight today. I'll tell you how to use it once we're airborn.

Did I hear correctly? Free wi-fi on an airplane? For once, I actually listened to the flight attendant's announcements! Sure enough I had heard correctly. Out came the laptop. I checked email, read some blogs, wrote a blog post, and started working on an assignment for my latest course with the National Institute of Genealogical Studies. Then suddently it happened, the battery died...

That's Murphy's Law for you. The one time I get on a flight without a fully charged battery...
