Learn Something New Today
As a child we are encouraged to (and usually do) learn something new every day.
If you went to school for 6-9 hours a day and cannot explain or quanitfy what you learned, then something went terribly wrong. The same thing goes with work: if you went to work for 8-9 hours and cannot explain or quantify what you learned that day, then something is wrong.

CVG, Delta, ATT, TMobile FAIL.
CVG is on my shit list. No data, voice only. ATT FAIL. Delta SkyClub serving drinks in plastic cups (smaller size means more tips?) And the T-Mobile hosted internet is suuuuuper slow (probably because ATT data is down now).
I have a pic, but I can’t upload it because my phone has no ATT data right now, and for whatever reason the T-Mobile authentication page (SkyClub Membership) will load...
Wished I could see more, but I’m now on board my dinky Regional Jet to CVG.

An 18-year old man, drunk from downing 8 alcoholic beverages on a JetBlue flight from JFK to Portland, Oregon, was arrested after he urinated on an 11 year old girl on the plane.
The man says that he was so drunk that he didn’t realize that he wasn’t in the bathroom when he decided to urinate on the young passenger. Incredibly, the girl’s father did not beat the living crap out of the guy, though...

Amazon Cloud Player collapses under demand for...
In a probable attempt to promote Amazon Cloud Player, Amazon MP3 is selling Lady Gaga’s Born This Way album for 99 cents, but it seems that the back end servers can’t handle the load.
Most customers have only received a portion of the album and a significant number have received less than half the album causing a number of 1-star ratings on Amazon.com.

After painfully long updates between IE6, IE7, and IE8, Internet Explorer 9 was given notice it’s successor is on the way. IE10 will bring CSS3 support, HTML5 support, and a few W3C APIs.
Typical for Microsoft, they were pretty tight lipped about the future of IE except to take a potshot at Chrome (and also Firefox) nothing that faster cadence (releasing more versions more often) does NOT...
