Doc said it best: Yahoo eats delicious. I wonder if it tasted mojo? I guess I could ask Yahoo Answers that question.

Winter wonderland:  Gee. Despite flying to a destination that received a foot of snow in the past day, my flight was on time. And now, I’m in the middle of what must be the place where Hallmark sends artists to paint those “home for the holidays” snow scenes on the front of Christmas cards. 





Before I head to the airport to catch a flight that will likely get cancelled: Here are a couple of posts by Staci Kramer of PaidContent.org regarding the “@Magazines 24/7 conference” (which, IMHO, is rather quaint 1999.1 conference title).

Update: Okay,
the @ sign was the PaidContent way to indicate Staci was @ the
conference. However, the quaintness of the Magazines 24/7 still
remains. They should consider the recent post on firewheel design’s
weblog, “The Four Concentric Circles of a Web 2.0 Name” before coming up with their next conference on this topic.

What Dave Winer said: “Anyone who thinks they know what the blogosphere is about is as right as someone who thinks they know the meaning of life, and potentially as dangerous (in a not-nice way) because maybe they’ll try to force you to see it their way.”

Southwest jet skids off runway in Chicago snow storm: (via CNN) “A Southwest Airlines jet slid off the runway during a heavy snowstorm at Chicago’s Midway Airport and crashed into two vehicles in a nearby intersection, killing a young boy, on Thursday night.”

Observation: (From someone who readers of this blog know flies on Southwest an average of twice weekly.) Tonight’s accident marks a sad milestone in the history of the airline. According to AirSafe.com, a website that compiles such information (although I’m sure they could be wrong), until tonight, “Southwest Airlines had not had any fatal events since it began service in 1971.

It should be noted that tonight’s accident did not include any passenger deaths and, in some ways, it is more like a tragic traffic accident that occurs during inclement weather than a plane crash in which the scope of the tragedy is magnified due to the numbers of fatalities involved. Obviously, that does not lessen the sadness that has touched a family tonight.
