Profile
Dave Bacon is a theoretical ski bum who is also a pseudo professor. His research is on quantum computing, his scientific passions extend to everything in physics, mathematics, computer science and beyond, and his personal pleasures include making wine, playing poker, skiing, camping, and daydreaming (although not all of those at the same time.)
Nothing he says on this blog should be construed as having anything to do with his employer or his dog.

I also don't like United. They're not so bad when things are going right, but when things start going wrong, UAL seems to have more trouble than anybody else. It's been a longstanding problem: Back in 1996 one of their customers wrote a complaint letter which got a brush-off. The customer responded by creating the Untied (note spelling) website, which still exists more than ten years later. While I have some horror stories about trips on UAL, I've had it easy compared to many of the stories on that site.
