highs, lows & the mess in the middle

“We hit it off right from the beginning. When he’s not arresting you, Sergeant Crowley is a really likable guy.” —

Professor Gates (New York Times)

It was not lost on me that Mr. Crowley drank a girly beer (Blue Moon), Obama drank an American/healthy-ish beer (Bud Lite) and Mr. Gates drank a Boston beer (Sam Adams). How original.

“In their scope, both the Internet and New York are profoundly humbling: young people accustomed to feeling special about their gifts are inevitably jarred, upon arrival, to discover just how many others are trying to do precisely the same, with equal or greater success.” —Bright Lights, Big Internet - NYTimes.com

air travel 2.0

I want to email all my flight confirmations to an airline and ask them to credit my frequent flier account. I bet there is not a single airline that could handle that request.

It’s funny how far behind airlines are at providing simple, basic customer service. where is the hello health of air?

Mr Obama has inspired more passionate devotion than any modern American politician. People scream and faint at his rallies. Some wear T-shirts proclaiming him “The One” and noting that “Jesus was a community organiser”. An editor at Newsweek described him as “above the country, above the world; he’s sort of God.” He sets foreign hearts fluttering, too. A Pew poll published this week finds that 93% of Germans expect him to do the right thing in world affairs. Only 14% thought that about Mr Bush.
