Not What I Wanted To Read Today . . . 0

. . . not when I’m catching a flight at subject airport tomorrow morning:

An air-traffic-controller error sent a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 and an AirTran Airways Boeing 717 on a near-collision course at Orlando International Airport last week, bringing to light a recent spate of air-traffic errors at Florida’s busiest airport.

Alarms sounded in both cockpits to alert the pilots that the airliners were within 300 vertical feet of each other, and they each took action to correct their paths.

It is the seventh operational error to occur at Orlando International since the beginning of the 2006 fiscal year on Oct. 1, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Is There Nowhere Left Where We Can Find Some Quiet? 0

Apparently, persons have become so afraid of their own thoughts that they are ready to fill every single moment with distraction:

Japanese sanitary ware outfit Toto has produced what must be the last word in toilet seats – the Apricot – which, besides all the usual features the Japanese consumer expects (bum-warming facility, bidet action, automated lid, etc, etc), boasts an MP3 player with detachable remote.

But they shouldn’t get complacent:

A family from Charlotte, North Carolina, is currently engaged in a stand-off with the local utilities company over who is responsible for cleaning up the aftermath of a toilet explosion which has forced them from their home.

Bill Moyers on the New Gilded Age 4

Well worth one’s time:

I have painted a bleak picture of democracy. I believe it is a true picture. But it is not a hopeless picture. Something can be done about it. Organized people have always had to take on organized money. If they had not, blacks would still be three-fifths of a person, women wouldn’t have the vote, workers couldn’t organize, and children would still be working in the mines. Our democracy today is more real and more inclusive than existed in the days of the Founders because time and again, the people have organized themselves to insist that America become “a more perfect union.”

Big Man 0

The Brownies of Troop 545 say the loiterer with a bandanna was a bad, bad man.

After he puffed on a cigarette outside the Publix on South Semoran Boulevard near Pershing Avenue in Orlando where they sold Girl Scout cookies Saturday afternoon, he tossed the butt to the ground, then snatched their money box and ran.

The $352 that Bryanna Sura, 9, and Kaitlin Renaud, 8, raised to help finance a pilgrimage to the home of the Girl Scouts’ founder was gone.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
