Confessions of a Chatterbox

Steven Barber, a [SkyMedia](http://www.skymediabiz.com/) salesman, emphatically explains to a NYTimes reporter why he [talks nonstop on flights](http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/13/business/13flier.html?ex=1292130000&en=ceb1875178458076&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss). Responding the the chatter is a tough one for me, I wouldn’t mind meeting a guy like Steven, maybe he’d know someone that would buy a million Clip-n-Seals from me, but at the same time, when I go into a “fly-zone” on the plane, I get a ton of work done. On our flight to Maui this week, I blasted through 1,200 emails. Doubtful I could get that done, while listening to Steven’s pitch on seatback tray table advertising. Though, I may get into a debate with him on how the tray table is the last bastion of freedom for a traveler and he should instead launch the [SkyMall](http://skymall.com/webapp/skystore?partner=ING) blog that does product testing on all those crazy gadgets.
