I’ll be on the road this week — until Saturday the 16th — so no posting is expected.

But, before I pack it in for the duration of my trip across the Southwest, let me just say that I am blogging from the Salt Lake City airport on a layover between NYC and New Mexico. And I am loving capitalism right now.

I needed to print a large document, so I checked into “Laptop Lane,” here at the airport — essentially, these are little offices with free phones and free printing that you can use for $0.65 a minute (after a $5 charge for the first five minutes).

Then, as pictured above, it turns out the airport here has these “charging station” kiosks, where you can charge your iPod, Treo, etc. I don’t need to use it this time, but what a fan-freakin’-tastic idea.

Bravo, capitalism. Bravo.
