Finally got around to trying to sync my iPod to the new laptop. The iPod was working, mind you. About a third of the way through the sync, iTunes stopped making progress. That lasted a good ten minutes, at which point I decided that something was wrong. So I rebooted the iPod (held down the…

One Man has some great post mortems on the Illinois Senate race from the right side of the aisle. His advice for Kathuria seems to be about right; of course, he might have added to the list, oh, Don’t pad your resume. But who am I to quibble. I’m sure the other post mortems will…

I look forward to the day when my son will have his own blog — but for the time being, I’ll just read Michael O’Connor-Clarke’s son’s blog (he’s 6 1/2). Even cooler — Michael’s dad is capturing the family memories in his own blog.

He was working the flight. That’s an inspiring person to work for. Now I know why so many people I know rave about JetBlue.…

Best news of the day. Continued love and good wishes to the Cutler family; we had dinner with them this weekend and got to share stories about how they’re doing. They’re so strong during this ordeal — and to hear such good news is a tremendous relief!
