   You know what? I had fear of flying. I did a training with a pilot in a simulator, but it was in the cockpit. I don't have fear of flying in a simulator or in the cockpit. I have fear of flying as a passenger, I'm sit in a chair. That's what I would have liked during my training. I told that to Air France and they did not understand but this might seriously be useful.

      Also useful for people who want to ride along with someone currently on a plane. "Honey, you are over Kansas right now!"

      Useless things tend to be deeply useful to a select few.

      I am loving this "re-weirding" of the internet. For the younglings, this is very much the sort of pet project that would bubble up in early internet days. No startup raising money, no pain point necessarily being solved, just one person's idea lovingly rendered to life.

         Don't try to build something for everyone, build something that's everything to someone. - paraphrasing Ferry Porsche

            I should have known he had views like this. I've heard similar things expressed and I believe this sentiment personally, but I'm happy to know I can add his name and the original quotation to my archives.

            Or; don't be everyone's cup of tea, be someone's shot of whiskey.
