Oh good, at least it's only "rare"
A Northwest plane overshoots the airport by 150 miles and the pilots don't respond to air traffic controllers for a few hours. But they claim it was only a loss of "situational awareness." Neat! Reported instances of two pilots falling asleep are rare. In August, the safety board concluded its ...

I had a few ulterior motives when I launched this blog back in December. I won't disclose all of them (yet), but one was to get a better handle on how blogs rank in search engines and what strategies work for gaming Google. Blogs generally rank highly in search engines given a few of their natu...

The Definition of a Slow News Day
I could go all defensive about this piece on Valleywag about our extravagant Disneyland trip, but I won't. Instead, I'll be gracious and help Owen during these troubled times for Valleywag. Here's a couple of story ideas based on a few photos from our weekend. Enjoy! ...
