This is what Mr. D was talkin' bout
[tonari no shibafu] I am at Starbucks again in Sengawa and finally remembered to bring my earphones, so I can enjoy my pre-study coffee and listen to the NPR program stream at the same time. Actually, the conversation switched topics from Democratic-Republican dynamics to talk about Katrina, but I find myself geographically and emotionally distant.

What's Google's next move in wireless?
[Richi'Blog: Stuff 'n' nonsense about email, spam, Linux, travel, and life in the UK. Also the home of the Bastardcast.] As an example, combine these three factors with Froogle (Google's comparison shopping service). If you're out shopping in bricks and mortar stores, what if you could connect using your PDA over Google Wi-Fi for free, it knew where you were, and could show you the closest place to purchase what you're looking for?

JetBlue's DirecTV as Emergency Communications
[O'Reilly Radar] (I didn't, though, want to freak out the person in the seat next to me, who was not watching the news, so I listed to the MSNBC audio and turned the screen off until the flight came in to land.) Apparently the LA flight had DirecTV disabled for their landing. (I believe this was an intentional choice on JetBlue's part -- while some commenters have guessed the TVs might have been turned off for landing as part of the regular safety process, they were on throughout the landing of my flight last night.) Different reports have had passengers reacting differently to this -- the AP reports one passenger saying they "would've been so much calmer without [the televisions]," while the Times reports another passenger saying, "We had live coverage up until about 10 minutes before we landed [...] That was the scary part, when they cut it off."
