This presumably is a descendant of #SoftwareHouse 's #MuLisp ? The system that powered #Derive?
I know they licensed it to #Microsoft.

#wss366 #Lick 5/16 The Soft Serve Case
Kasumi pointed at the cone. Words had failed her again. There just weren’t any phrases that met her current needs. “Good meat,” “I want another beer,” or something similar wouldn’t do.
Kanna was used to Kasumi’s trouble speaking. In fact, it was fun trying to figure out what she meant.
“Were you asking for some?” she asked.
Kasumi shook her head no, while Riko looked irritated. Riko didn’t enjoy this game and resented sharing her time with Kanna.
“That's weird,” Kasumi said. The phrase worked, though she had to suppress the phrase’s end. “I wonder if we can shoot it.”
She was having a hard time today. It was like that when Sorawo and Toriko were traveling. Static filled her head, and new phrases would pop into her mind. When that happened, she had to concentrate on filing the comment away properly. The pair was walking silently through a ruined house, so she didn’t have to worry about that.
“You’re weird,” Riko said.
“Be nice,” Kanna chided, then returned to Kasumi’s question. “It’s soft serve. A special ice cream: soft, sweet, yummy. Do you want a LICK?”
Kasumi nodded.
“Mummm.” The sweetness filled her head, and the cold was delightful. It tingled her tongue.
By clipping “Good meat,” she could say what she felt: “Good.”
“Hey, I want a LICK too,” Riko said, grabbing at the cone.
Splat.
Kasumi suppressed the Sorawo comment that came to mind. People got weird when she called them a perv.
Kanna shrugged and said, “I have money. Let’s all buy one, then we don’t need to share.”
This time, Kasumi had a perfect answer borrowed from Toriko and Kosakura. Mom Kosakura used it every night when she tucked Kasumi into bed. It was a lovely phrase, even if Aunt Sorawo got weird when Aunt Toriko used it.
“I love you.”

if you want to manage your money like the 1% I’m revealing the 75115 rule that would allow you to build wealth regardless of how much you earn it’s a system that adapts to your Income level whether you earn $10,000 or a million doll a year because no matter how
much you earn you’re always going to follow these three steps first for every dollar that you earn 75% or 75 cents of it will be the maximum amount you can use to spend to buy things housing food vacations Mr Magic lamps if you can spend less than 75% of your Income
that’s fantastic but the beauty of the 75% limit is it gives you flexibility and encourages you to do two key things first it forces you to look for cheaper alternatives premium gas or regular organic free range guacamole or regular Whole Foods or Aldi so most of the wealthy people that I
know share this common trait which is what I noticed after starting my own business and networking with other entrepreneurs which honestly is a big deal for me because I’m naturally an introvert but the most unexpecting and revealing moment was when bu of us went out for dinner after an event
and everyone was asking the waiter for happy hour specials and the cheapest wine they had and I kid you not when the bill came people literally pulled out their phones to calculate how to evenly split the bill so everyone only paid for exactly what they had down to the last set and keep in mind
these people were all millionaires next the 75 limit forces you to focus on value you’ve probably heard countless times before to stop buying coffee and instead save and and invest that money but I believe that’s the wrong way to look at it instead before you make any purchase you
should ask yourself how much do you value the thing that you’re buying if that $5 ice coffee makes you the happiest person in the world makes you more productive social and reduces your stress for the rest of the day then chances are the value you get from that cup of coffee is way more than
the $5 it cost so go get it instead of grasping at the little purchases and attempting to save money it’s it’s more effective to focus on the bigger expenses a brand new car 100in TV or a cheese dispenser the thing with big purchases is it’ll make you happy for a temporary amount
of time but after that initial honeymon period ends your happiness level is right back where it started then that 70k car just becomes a regular old car with the same functionality as every other car so if you manage to spend less than 75% of your Income like you only spend 60% of
it then I need you to hold on to that 15% difference because I’m going to show you what you need to do with it in a bit next the 10 in the 75105 rule says that for every dollar you earn you should save at least 10% or 10 cents of it for this thing called a cushion fund a 2022 study found that
as much as 56% of Americans can’t afford an unexpected $1,000 expense think of your cushion fund as a cash Reserve that’s specifically set aside for financial emergencies and emergencies don’t include a wild Night Out Vacations or fried chicken Cravings this money should only be
used when pretty much all hell breaks loose when your house gets flooded when you get stranded in the middle of nowhere and have no other options basically when your life is Fubar so about 8 years ago I got into a really really bad car accident that pretty much destroyed the front of my car I was
in a completely different state and I didn’t know anyone but the mechanic said that it was going to cost about $115,000 to fix and I was really stressed out because I had no idea how I was going to come up with this kind of money I even considered taking on a Loan even though
I knew that the interest for it would easily cost way more than that amount of money but then I remember that I had my cushion fund saved for emergencies just like this the good news is determining how much you actually need in your cushion fund is simple open up a spreadsheet and take account of
all your monthly expenses rent pineapple pizza bills multiply this total by five if your monthly expenses are $2,000 you generally want to save for 5 months of expenses so your cushion fund is $10,000 once you have your total you need to commit to saving this amount I built this
Savings go tracker to help me save money a lot faster I just put in how much I want to save and then I can track my progress and Visually see where I’m at for a limited time I’m giving away my ultimate Savings goal tracker for free with the link below
but what’s even more important is where you store your cushion fund While most people keep their Savings in a traditional Savings account like Chase or Bank of America there are much better places called high Yield Savings
accounts or hyas because they give you much higher Interest Rates which allow you to grow your money a lot faster with traditional Savings accounts like Chase the national interest rate is .5% apy meaning if you put $10,000 in the account at the end of the year the
bank is just going to give you $57 in interest leaving you with $10,000 57 on the other hand a high Yield Savings account can offer you 4% apy meaning at the end of the year they’ll give you $400 in interest leaving you with $10,400 I’ll leave some high
Yield Savings accounts you can check out below but an even bigger problem is most people don’t know when to stop saving money the reality is you don’t always want to just save your money forever once you have your 5 months worth of cushion fund stop
saving and just hold on to that 10% amount you were going to save and I’ll show you what you need to do with it next the 15 in the 7510 15 rule says that for every dollar you earn you should invest at least 15% or 15 cents of it for your future and there are two specific accounts you should
start investing with to optimize your Taxes you basically want to funnel any extra funds that you have into this particular step because the whole point of the 15% rule is to put your money to work so you can build Assets and wealth because real wealth is built by
owning Assets the problem is we were only taught how to make make money from our work in labor that’s pretty much what school teaches us how can you get a high-paying job but the wealthiest people in this country don’t make their money from their job they make their
money from their Assets and after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert kosaki I realize that you can be completely broke with a high-paying job but if you have Assets you can spend all your money today and still be wealthy next month but unfortunately like many
people I never learned in school nor did our parents teach us this I pretty much had to go out of my way to learn this from reading and studying Finance with books like psychology of money
and the intelligent investor but this is one of those things that once you learn it you can never unlearn it but if you don’t learn it you might never learn it and if you don’t learn it you’re never going to be able to build true wealth there are two specific investment accounts
you should start investing with because of major tax advantages first is the Roth IRA which is an indiv idual retirement account the main advantage of having a Roth ra is that your earnings and Profits grow tax-free that means when you retire and withdraw all their earnings you
won’t pay any Taxes on it at all for instance Peter theel famously grew his Roth ra account to5 billion and what’s Wild is that when he decides to withdraw from it he’s going to pay0 in Taxes on it the caveat is that you can only contribute money
that has already been taxed meaning after you received your paycheck and the rothar benefit is so great that the government limits how much you can contribute to it in 2024 if you’re under the age of 50 you can only contribute $7,000 a year into a Roth IRA and if you’re over the age of
50 you can contribute $8,000 a year it’s a pretty straightforward four-step process to both open and contribute to a Roth IRA first you need to have what’s called earned Income meaning that you need to get your Income working for someone else yourself
or a business that you own second you want to go to any Brokerage website like Fidelity Schwab or Vanguard and select the option to open a Roth ra account third once you have your account open you want to transfer money from your regular bank account to your Roth IRA account fourth
and please make sure you pay attention because many people completely miss this step and wonder why their Roth or a account hasn’t grown in 20 years and it’s because you actually need to purchase some investment ments in the account don’t worry about what you should invest in
I’m going to share my favorite Investments later where I can basically just set it and forget it the second account you should invest with is the 401K which is an employer sponsored account meaning you can only have a 401k account if you work for an employer that offers it
but thankfully many companies do unlike a Roth ra all your contributions to the 401K is made with pre-tax dollars meaning you’ll pay Taxes on the money later the idea is many people’s Income in will be lower when they retire so people are expecting to
pay a smaller amount of Taxes on the money in the future compared to now you basically assign a portion of your paycheck to be contributed to the 401K and this account has a much higher contribution limit of $23,000 per year as of 2024 one of the biggest advantages of the 401K is
that many employers offer an additional benefits where they match your contribution basically meaning they give you free money the most most common employer 401K match is a 100% match for the first 3% you contribute with a 50% match for the next 2% it sounds really confusing but basically if your
salary is $65,000 and you maximize your contributions up to the employer’s match you would contribute 5% or $3,250 in a year and in return your employer would immediately match and give you another $2,600 for free no questions asked totaling $5,850 in your 401k and again it’s basically
like free money for you and your retirement in the future so if your employer offers this this is an absolute no-brainer so after you have either one of these or both of these retirement accounts you need to figure out where to invest your money and before I tell you what I personally invest in
here’s a practical reason that the wealthy invest in Assets if you invest just $100 every month for 50 years at a rate of return of 10% % at the end of the 5050 years you would have only contributed about $60,000 but from overtime in the Stock Market and
returns your total Portfolio value will be $1.4 million also Mumu the Investment app that I personally used is giving away five free stocks valued up to $10,000 if you open a new account and deposit $100 with my link below anyways for most people investing in an index fund or ETF
is all that you really need to do basically instead of investing in one stock that can either go up or down with an index fund or ETF you actually invest in hundreds of different stocks you automatically diversify your money and reduce your overall risk meaning you can pretty much just set it up
and forget it for example if you were to buy an S&P 500 Index Fund by buying that one fund you would own a small percentage of every single stock in the S&P 500 thus you track the entire index that would automatically provide you with diversification because your investment is now spread
across the top 500 companies in the US and by buying an index fund it’s actually a lot cheaper than buying into each of these 500 companies individually on their own index funds are usually a great safe beted in retirement account because based on the average over the course of the past 80
years index funds have improved to return about 8% a year some years are naturally going to be higher than others but on average you can expect your money to grow and compound over time so with most of my money I invest in passively managed index funds like FX a or vo because it’s easy and
really straightforward but you can invest in whatever you would like there are a ton of ETFs and index funds out there and if the funds that I choose AR available in your 401k you can just look
for another type of index fund that invests in a lot of companies in the US and you should be pretty golden for the most part which leads me to something that you’ve got to start accepting and it’s that even if you’re trying your hardest to be better with money sometimes you might
still feel like you’re not doing enough and that might be because you don’t know the 10 things you should never waste your money on click here to learn the 10 things you need to stop buying immediately

k9 - combatiente zeigt geschichtsbewußt: "Panzerkreuzer Potemkin" Der wohl bekannteste Film des sowjetischen Regisseurs Sergej Michajlovič Ėjzenštejn ist der 1925 entstandene Panzerkreuzer Potemkin "Броненосец Потёмкин“ - “ Bronenossez „Potjomkin“).
Der Film ist ein revolutionäres Lehrstück mit emotionaler Überzeugungskraft: "Rußland im Jahr 1905. Der russisch-japanische Krieg wirft seine Schatten auf die Hafenstadt Odessa am Schwarzen Meer. Die Disziplin in #Armee und #Marine wird mit härtesten Maßnahmen aufrechterhalten. Doch unter den Matrosen des Panzerkreuzers #Potemkin herrscht dumpfe #Meutereistimmung wegen verdorbener Verpflegung. Der #Kommandant befiehlt ein Kommando zusammenzustellen und eine Gruppe von #Matrosen auf dem Achterdeck zu erschießen. Unter einer Persenning erwartet die willkürlich ausgesuchte Gruppe auf den Tod, da erhebt sich der Matrose #Wakulintschuk und verhindert, daß die Kameraden getötet werden. Es kommt zum Aufstand. Vergeblich versuchen die #Offiziere, die Disziplin wiederherzustellen.
Während des Kampfes der verzweifelten Mannschaft wird Wakulintschuk vom Kommandanten erschossen. Alle Offiziere werden getötet. Am nächsten Tag steuert eine Dampfbarkasse den Hafen von #Odessa an. Matrosen legen die Leiche Wakulintschuks am Kai nieder samt einer Notiz: „Für einen Löffel Suppe!' Wie ein Lauffeuer verbreitet sich die Kunde von den Ereignissen an Bord. Viele Einwohner Odessas erweisen dem toten Matrosen die letzte Ehre. Zu hunderten fahren Segelboote zur „Potemkin' hinaus. Ihre Besatzung jubelt den aufständischen Matrosen zu und versorgt sie mit frischem Proviant. Mitten in den allgemeinen Jubel hinein fällt die Nachricht, daß die Regierung Kosakentruppen zur Niederschlagung des Aufstands in Marsch gesetzt hat. Im Gleichschritt naht nun das Unheil. Unter den Hufen der Reiterschwadronen dröhnt die Erde, Schüsse fallen, Säbel hauen auf wehrlose Zivilisten ein. Auf der breiten Freitreppe hinunter ins Hafengebiet richten die Truppen ein Massaker unter der Bevölkerung an. Der Aufstand wird niedergeschlagen. Die Besatzung der ‘Potemkin’ erreicht die Nachricht, daß das Admiralitätsgeschwader gegen ihr Schiff in Fahrt gesetzt wurde. Am Morgen taucht die #Schlachtflotte am Horizont auf. Die ‘Potemkin’ richtet ihre Geschütze auf sie. Die Signalmaaten signalisieren „Schießt nicht, Kameraden !' zu dem feindlichen Geschwader. Die Gegner fahren aufeinander zu. Doch die Kanonen senken sich und die Admiralitätsflotte dreht ab, die Mannschaften jubeln - die Kameradschaft hat gesiegt. Die rote Fahne der Revolution flattert im Wind.“1958 auf der Brüsseler #Weltausstellung zum »Besten #Film aller Zeiten« gekürt.

Airports I’ve used
Last Friday set an ignominious personal milestone: I broke a record for consecutive days spent away from airplanes that went back to to 2001.
Back then, the post-9/11 shutdown of commercial aviation and my own relaxed travel schedule ensured I wouldn’t board a plane between early August, when I landed at National Airport after a summer vacation in California, and early January, when I took off DCA for my first Macworld Expo. This time, the novel-coronavirus pandemic has grounded me, and it’s unclear when I’ll once again feel jet engines shove me back in my seat and watch the ground fall away from the wing.
So I might as well document the airports I used in the Before Times, having already done the research for my friend Craig Fifer’s Flight Quest project to track who among his friends had taken off from or landed at more airports. As an inveterate list-maker and avgeek, how could I not have taken part in that competition?
So here you go: the 94 95 97 98 99 100 101 102103 104 105 106 109 112 113 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 airports I’ve used listed by IATA and ICAO code, plus my comments about each.
- AER/URSS, Sochi International Airport: A student trip to the Soviet Union after my high-school graduation (thanks, Mom and Dad) led me to this airport on the Black Sea.
- AMS/EHAM, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol: A friend’s bachelor party provided an excellent excuse to fly to the Netherlands.
- ATL/KATL, Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport: I’ve spent shockingly little time here, aside from two trips to cover the E3 video-game conference in the ’90s.
- ATW/KATW, Appleton International Airport: This has to be the smallest U.S. airport on this list with “International” in its name–despite not having any regularly scheduled international passenger service.
- AUS/KAUS, Austin–Bergstrom International Airport: Thanks, SXSW.
- BCN/LEBL, Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport: MWC put this airport on my map.
- BDA/TXKF, L.F. Wade International Airport: spring break in Bermuda with my family in high school.
- BER/EDDB, Berlin Brandenburg Airport: Five years after seeing this unopened airport as a infrastructure tourist, I experienced it as a passenger.
- BNA/KBNA, Nashville International Airport: The diversity of local dining options represented here reminded me of AUS.
- BOI/KBOI, Boise Airport: Shortest airport name on this list.
- BOS/KBOS, Logan International Airport: a family destination since the late ’90s.
- BRU/EBBR, Brussels Airport: I hear Brussels is a great city, so at some point I should not just connect through its airport.
- BUR/KBUR, Hollywood Burbank Airport: Among my easier airport car-rental experiences.
- BWI/KBWI, Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport: the greater Washington area’s third-place airport.
- CDG/LFPG, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport: T1 is a master class in how not to design a terminal.
- CGS/KCGS, College Park Airport: I went to an airshow at the oldest continuously-operated airport in the late ’90s and paid $20 or so for a ride in a biplane.
- CLE/KCLE, Cleveland Hopkins International Airport: I’m told that my first flight was a hop from Newark to Cleveland to see my grandparents.
- CLT/KCLT, Charlotte Douglas International Airport: Yes, I’ve flown US Airways and American Airlines.
- CMH/KCMH, John Glenn Columbus International Airport: Part of a miniature mileage run I did on Sept. 11, 2020 to break an eight-month streak of being grounded after the novel-coronavirus pandemic shut down all my business travel.
- CPH/EKCH, Copenhagen Airport: The airport is easily reachable by train from both Denmark and Sweden.
- CRL/EBCI, Brussels South Charleroi Airport: Potential Ryanair passengers should be advised that Charleroi isn’t Brussels.
- CTU/ZUUU, Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport: The 1998 trip to Tibet that took me through this airport (I’m sure it’s much fancier now) will require its own post at some point.
- CUN/MMUN, Cancún International Airport: a pre-Christmas vacation a couple of years ago.
- CXH/CYHC, Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre: I couldn’t resist ducking away from Web Summit Vancouver to get in a floatplane tour of the city and its beautiful surroundings.
- DAL/KDAL, Dallas Love Field: Of course, Southwest Airlines was involved.
- DCA/KDCA, Washington National Airport: I don’t call the airport that I’ve probably used more than any other “Reagan Airport” because Republicans in Congress insisted on shoving that name on us while the 41st president was still alive. Never name things after living politicians.
- DEN/KDEN, Stapleton International Airport: I’m so old that I’ve flown in and out of and driven under Denver’s former airport.
- DEN/KDEN, Denver International Airport: Rail transit from here is surprisingly good.
- DFW/KDFW, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport: I think I’ve only flown here once; my second time would have been this March, but the pandemic intervened.
- DOH/OTHH, Hamad International Airport: Doha, Qatar, is the farthest east I’ve flown from home.
- DTW/KDTW, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport: I’ve only over connected through Detroit and have somehow never visited the city itself.
- DUB/EIDW, Dublin Airport: I was overdue to return until Dublin Tech Summit brought me back in 2022.
- EWR/KEWR, Newark Liberty International Airport: my home airport growing up, as well as the only one where I’ve experienced a departure from the jumpseat of an airliner.
- FCO/LIRF, Rome–Fiumicino International Airport: first stop on my honeymoon.
- FLL/KFLL, Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport: a nice start to a few days in the Florida Keys with friends.
- FRA/EDDF, Frankfurt am Main Airport: Germany’s biggest Star Alliance transfer point.

Airports I’ve used
Last Friday set an ignominious personal milestone: I broke a record for consecutive days spent away from airplanes that went back to to 2001.
Back then, the post-9/11 shutdown of commercial aviation and my own relaxed travel schedule ensured I wouldn’t board a plane between early August, when I landed at National Airport after a summer vacation in California, and early January, when I took off DCA for my first Macworld Expo. This time, the novel-coronavirus pandemic has grounded me, and it’s unclear when I’ll once again feel jet engines shove me back in my seat and watch the ground fall away from the wing.
So I might as well document the airports I used in the Before Times, having already done the research for my friend Craig Fifer’s Flight Quest project to track who among his friends had taken off from or landed at more airports. As an inveterate list-maker and avgeek, how could I not have taken part in that competition?
So here you go: the 94 95 97 98 99 100 101 102103 104 105 106 109 112 113 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 airports I’ve used listed by IATA and ICAO code, plus my comments about each.
- AER/URSS, Sochi International Airport: A student trip to the Soviet Union after my high-school graduation (thanks, Mom and Dad) led me to this airport on the Black Sea.
- AMS/EHAM, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol: A friend’s bachelor party provided an excellent excuse to fly to the Netherlands.
- ATL/KATL, Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport: I’ve spent shockingly little time here, aside from two trips to cover the E3 video-game conference in the ’90s.
- ATW/KATW, Appleton International Airport: This has to be the smallest U.S. airport on this list with “International” in its name–despite not having any regularly scheduled international passenger service.
- AUS/KAUS, Austin–Bergstrom International Airport: Thanks, SXSW.
- BCN/LEBL, Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport: MWC put this airport on my map.
- BDA/TXKF, L.F. Wade International Airport: spring break in Bermuda with my family in high school.
- BER/EDDB, Berlin Brandenburg Airport: Five years after seeing this unopened airport as a infrastructure tourist, I experienced it as a passenger.
- BNA/KBNA, Nashville International Airport: The diversity of local dining options represented here reminded me of AUS.
- BOI/KBOI, Boise Airport: Shortest airport name on this list.
- BOS/KBOS, Logan International Airport: a family destination since the late ’90s.
- BRU/EBBR, Brussels Airport: I hear Brussels is a great city, so at some point I should not just connect through its airport.
- BUR/KBUR, Hollywood Burbank Airport: Among my easier airport car-rental experiences.
- BWI/KBWI, Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport: the greater Washington area’s third-place airport.
- CDG/LFPG, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport: T1 is a master class in how not to design a terminal.
- CGS/KCGS, College Park Airport: I went to an airshow at the oldest continuously-operated airport in the late ’90s and paid $20 or so for a ride in a biplane.
- CLE/KCLE, Cleveland Hopkins International Airport: I’m told that my first flight was a hop from Newark to Cleveland to see my grandparents.
- CLT/KCLT, Charlotte Douglas International Airport: Yes, I’ve flown US Airways and American Airlines.

- CPH/EKCH, Copenhagen Airport: The airport is easily reachable by train from both Denmark and Sweden.
- CRL/EBCI, Brussels South Charleroi Airport: Potential Ryanair passengers should be advised that Charleroi isn’t Brussels.
- CTU/ZUUU, Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport: The 1998 trip to Tibet that took me through this airport (I’m sure it’s much fancier now) will require its own post at some point.
- CUN/MMUN, Cancún International Airport: a pre-Christmas vacation a couple of years ago.
- CXH/CYHC, Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre: I couldn’t resist ducking away from Web Summit Vancouver to get in a floatplane tour of the city and its beautiful surroundings.
- DAL/KDAL, Dallas Love Field: Of course, Southwest Airlines was involved.
- DCA/KDCA, Washington National Airport: I don’t call the airport that I’ve probably used more than any other “Reagan Airport” because Republicans in Congress insisted on shoving that name on us while the 41st president was still alive. Never name things after living politicians.

- DFW/KDFW, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport: I think I’ve only flown here once; my second time would have been this March, but the pandemic intervened.

Airports I’ve used
Last Friday set an ignominious personal milestone: I broke a record for consecutive days spent away from airplanes that went back to to 2001.
Back then, the post-9/11 shutdown of commercial aviation and my own relaxed travel schedule ensured I wouldn’t board a plane between early August, when I landed at National Airport after a summer vacation in California, and early January, when I took off DCA for my first Macworld Expo. This time, the novel-coronavirus pandemic has grounded me, and it’s unclear when I’ll once again feel jet engines shove me back in my seat and watch the ground fall away from the wing.
So I might as well document the airports I used in the Before Times, having already done the research for my friend Craig Fifer’s Flight Quest project to track who among his friends had taken off from or landed at more airports. As an inveterate list-maker and avgeek, how could I not have taken part in that competition?
So here you go: the 94 95 97 98 99 100 101 102103 104 105 106 109 112 113 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 airports I’ve used listed by IATA and ICAO code, plus my comments about each.
- AER/URSS, Sochi International Airport: A student trip to the Soviet Union after my high-school graduation (thanks, Mom and Dad) led me to this airport on the Black Sea.
- AMS/EHAM, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol: A friend’s bachelor party provided an excellent excuse to fly to the Netherlands.
- ATL/KATL, Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport: I’ve spent shockingly little time here, aside from two trips to cover the E3 video-game conference in the ’90s.
- ATW/KATW, Appleton International Airport: This has to be the smallest U.S. airport on this list with “International” in its name–despite not having any regularly scheduled international passenger service.
- AUS/KAUS, Austin–Bergstrom International Airport: Thanks, SXSW.
- BCN/LEBL, Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport: MWC put this airport on my map.
- BDA/TXKF, L.F. Wade International Airport: spring break in Bermuda with my family in high school.
- BER/EDDB, Berlin Brandenburg Airport: Five years after seeing this unopened airport as a infrastructure tourist, I experienced it as a passenger.
- BNA/KBNA, Nashville International Airport: The diversity of local dining options represented here reminded me of AUS.
- BOI/KBOI, Boise Airport: Shortest airport name on this list.
- BOS/KBOS, Logan International Airport: a family destination since the late ’90s.
- BRU/EBBR, Brussels Airport: I hear Brussels is a great city, so at some point I should not just connect through its airport.
- BUR/KBUR, Hollywood Burbank Airport: Among my easier airport car-rental experiences.
- BWI/KBWI, Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport: the greater Washington area’s third-place airport.
- CDG/LFPG, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport: T1 is a master class in how not to design a terminal.
- CGS/KCGS, College Park Airport: I went to an airshow at the oldest continuously-operated airport in the late ’90s and paid $20 or so for a ride in a biplane.
- CLE/KCLE, Cleveland Hopkins International Airport: I’m told that my first flight was a hop from Newark to Cleveland to see my grandparents.
- CLT/KCLT, Charlotte Douglas International Airport: Yes, I’ve flown US Airways and American Airlines.
- CMH/KCMH, John Glenn Columbus International Airport: Part of a miniature mileage run I did on Sept. 11, 2020 to break an eight-month streak of being grounded after the novel-coronavirus pandemic shut down all my business travel.
- CPH/EKCH, Copenhagen Airport: The airport is easily reachable by train from both Denmark and Sweden.
- CRL/EBCI, Brussels South Charleroi Airport: Potential Ryanair passengers should be advised that Charleroi isn’t Brussels.
- CTU/ZUUU, Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport: The 1998 trip to Tibet that took me through this airport (I’m sure it’s much fancier now) will require its own post at some point.
- CUN/MMUN, Cancún International Airport: a pre-Christmas vacation a couple of years ago.
- CXH/CYHC, Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre: I couldn’t resist ducking away from Web Summit Vancouver to get in a floatplane tour of the city and its beautiful surroundings.
- DAL/KDAL, Dallas Love Field: Of course, Southwest Airlines was involved.
- DCA/KDCA, Washington National Airport: I don’t call the airport that I’ve probably used more than any other “Reagan Airport” because Republicans in Congress insisted on shoving that name on us while the 41st president was still alive. Never name things after living politicians.
- DEN/KDEN, Stapleton International Airport: I’m so old that I’ve flown in and out of and driven under Denver’s former airport.
- DEN/KDEN, Denver International Airport: Rail transit from here is surprisingly good.
- DFW/KDFW, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport: I think I’ve only flown here once; my second time would have been this March, but the pandemic intervened.
- DOH/OTHH, Hamad International Airport: Doha, Qatar, is the farthest east I’ve flown from home.
- DTW/KDTW, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport: I’ve only over connected through Detroit and have somehow never visited the city itself.
- DUB/EIDW, Dublin Airport: I was overdue to return until Dublin Tech Summit brought me back in 2022.
- EWR/KEWR, Newark Liberty International Airport: my home airport growing up, as well as the only one where I’ve experienced a departure from the jumpseat of an airliner.
- FCO/LIRF, Rome–Fiumicino International Airport: first stop on my honeymoon.
- FLL/KFLL, Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport: a nice start to a few days in the Florida Keys with friends.
- FRA/EDDF, Frankfurt am Main Airport: Germany’s biggest Star Alliance transfer point.
- FUK/RJFF, Fukuoka Airport: an unplanned connection on my way to Tokyo in 2019, also a source of childish hilarity for its IATA code.
- GIG/SBGL, Rio de Janeiro/Galeão International Airport: My first airport used out of the Northern Hemisphere.
- GRU/SBGR, São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport: I usually don’t like to be introduced to a new airport with less than two hours to connect through it, but my domestic-to-international connection at GRU was about as easy as they get.
- GVA/LSGG, Geneva Airport: Switzerland’s lesser airport.
- HEL/EFHK, Helsinki-Vantaa Airport: Also one of the more memorable IATA codes out there.
- HGR/KHGR, Hagerstown Regional Airport: Where I flew in a 76-year-old B-25 Mitchell.
- HKG/VHHH, Hong Kong International Airport: I’m sorry I never got to fly into Kai Tak.
- HND/RJTT, Tokyo International Airport: My belated introduction to Haneda came in 2019.

- IAD/KIAD, Washington Dulles International Airport: my other home airport now.
- IAH/KIAH, George Bush Intercontinental Airport: so many connections here.
- IST/LTFM, Istanbul Airport: This has to be the largest airport terminal I’ve ever set foot in. If you have access to the Turkish Airlines lounge by the D concourse, show up hungry!
- JFK/KJFK, John F. Kennedy International Airport: I have a Pan Am boarding pass from here but have otherwise spent shockingly little time at JFK.
- KEF/BIKF, Keflavik International Airport: Decades after Tom Clancy’s “Red Storm Rising” introduced this airport to me as the site of a Soviet invasion, I had a much more tranquil welcome connecting through KEF in 2022.
- KOA/PHKO, Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keāhole: Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Tech Summit took me here in 2021.
- -/KHES, Healdsburg Municipal Airport: A flight in a friend’s plane took me to this tiny Sonoma County airstrip.
- LAS/KLAS, McCarran International Airport: CES has given me an obnoxious level of familiarity with Las Vegas’ airport.
- LAX/KLAX, Los Angeles International Airport: The In-n-Out Burger franchise just northeast of the runways is my favorite fast-food spot in the world.
- LED/ULLI, Pulkovo Airport: I flew here in 1989, when St. Petersburg was still Leningrad.
- LGA/KLGA, LaGuardia Airport: It’s made Penn Station look good.
- LGW/LGKK, London Gatwick: London’s other airport, substantially more expensive to reach via rail than Heathrow.
- LHR/EGLL, Heathrow Airport: My opinion of it went way up after T2 opened.
- LIS/LPPT, Humberto Delgado Airport: Obrigado, Web Summit.
- LKE/-, Kenmore Air Harbor Seaplane Base: My first flight that started and ended on water happened here, at Seattle’s Lake Union.

- MIA/KMIA, Miami International Airport: My first in-person panel moderation since the start of the pandemic finally got me to this airport.
- MSO/KMSO, Missoula Montana Airport: After getting off the plane here, I knew I would not have Vasili Borodin’s dying regret in the film version of The Hunt For Red October, “I would like to have seen Montana.”
- MSP/KMSP, Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport: My 2001 connection here was so short that my skis didn’t make it on the plane home with me.
- MSY/KMSY, Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport: great city, bad transfers to and from its airport.
- MUC/EDDM, Munich Airport: my second-most-frequent connection in Germany.
- MXP/LIMC, Milan Malpensa Airport: The last stop on our honeymoon.
- NRT/RJAA, Narita International Airport: I don’t think any other airport on this list sits as far from its city’s downtown as Narita is from Tokyo.
- OAK/KOAK, Oakland International Airport: I last flew here when you still had to take a bus to BART.
- ODS/UKOO, Odesa International Airport: It was still spelled Odessa when I visited in 1989.
- OGG/PHOG, Kahului Airport: A friend’s wedding in Maui was for years my only visit to Hawaii.
- ORD/KORD, O’Hare International Airport: Two great things about ORD: the neon sculpture between T1’s two halves, and Tortas Frontera.
- ORY/LFPO, Paris Orly Airport: When my family lived outside of Paris during my first two years of college, flying Continental meant I arrived at Orly instead of de Gaulle.
- PDX/KPDX, Portland International Airport: I, too, miss the old carpet.
- PEK/ZBAA, Beijing Capital International Airport: Transit connections were not that easy or discoverable in 2007.

- PVG/ZSPD, Shanghai Pudong International Airport: the fastest transit link I’ve ever used.
- PVR/MMPR, Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport: a destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta.
- RDU/KRDU, Raleigh-Durham International Airport: Part of a mileage run in 2023, unless I flew in or out of there years earlier.
- RIX/EVRA, Riga International Airport: The TechChill conference brought me to Latvia in 2022.
- RNO/KRNO, Reno–Tahoe International Airport: My only flight here happened after I missed a flight out of IAD and had to rebook.

- SJD/MMSD, Los Cabos International Airport: another destination wedding in Mexico.

- SNA/KSNA, John Wayne Airport: The takeoff from this short 5,700-foot runway felt sportier than average.

- STL/KSTL, St. Louis Lambert International Airport: my first two business trips had me going to E3 in L.A. via TWA from DCA, putting that airline’s hub in between.
- STS/KSTS, Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport: The tiny waiting room is decorated with large prints of Peanuts strips featuring Snoopy and the Red Baron, which is awesome. Santa Rosa’s airport is also the only one I’ve departed via hot-air balloon.
- SVO/UUEE, Sheremetyevo International Airport: My introduction to the joys of communism came at the start of that 1989 trip, in the form of an approximately two-hour wait after landing in Moscow for Aeroflot to return our group’s luggage.
- SVQ/LEZL, Seville Airport: Having ATC delay a departure to FRA last spring by most of an hour required me to make a 10-minute connection in FRA.
- SZX/ZGSZ, Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport: This, too, looks a lot different than it did during my 1998 trip to China.

- TLV/LLBG, Ben Gurion Airport: They don’t screw around with security at Tel Aviv.

- TXL/EDDT, Berlin Tegel Airport: If Berlin Brandenburg Airport really and finally opens this fall (update: it did), TXL will be the next airport on this list to be retired.
- VIE/LOWW, Vienna International Airport: a lovely vacation in 2006.
- VNO/EYVI, Vilnius International Airport: I got my introduction to the last of the Baltic states’ three major airports about two and a half years after landing in Tallinn.

Don’t Make These Mistakes in Positano (+ What I Didn’t Expect)
Positano is one of those places that looks exactly how you imagine it — and also nothing like what you expect once you’re there. It’s beautiful, busy, vertical, and surprisingly easy to enjoy once you stop trying to treat it like a typical “things to do” destination. That said, there were a few things I either learned quickly or would do differently if I went back. And a few things that genuinely surprised me. If you’re planning a trip, here’s what I’d keep in mind. This […] -
