Gotta love those major airlines

Ze has a lovely experience on Delta.
On a sidenote (via a link on Ze’s page) — you know what I love in my airline?  A nice healthy Chapter 11 statement.

Dumbest. Lawsuit. Ever.

A guy is suing my beloved Los Angeles Angels b/c he didn’t get a bag at last year’s Mother’s Day Bag Giveaway at Angel Stadium; his lawyer attempts to explain:

Om Malik’s saying that Google’s big announcement tomorrow at CES is related to Google Video, not a "Google Cube" announcement.

Friday! Friday! Friday!

This Friday, January 6 at 4pm, to be exact.  That’s when Larry Page will be giving a keynote at CES 2006.  It could also be when we get a big announcement about what’s next from Google.
