Help Jonathan Snook adopt (again)

A major player in the world of web (both design and programming) was looking to adopt his third child along with his wife in the near future, the future came a little sooner than expected.

Read all about it (and contribute if you’re inclined) here: http://snook.ca/adoption

Through the use of twitter, in 12 hours he’s almost hit the $2,000 mark (13% of his goal). Pretty good for a campaign slated to go through April 18th.

There’s got to be a business model for twitter somewhere out there…

It’s pretty crazy to revisit Sully and his adventure 6 weeks out and put some sort of context around it in both visual and audio form.

Although I knew the ending, it still made me tense up a little when the air traffic controller is trying to get him some direction but not really having a clue of where he is or how he really can’t make it to either airport.

Thinking of Sully, maybe we should all be as diligent to our craft as to handle a crisis as well as he did. I just hope my occupational crisis doesn’t include the safety of 150 other lives along the way.

New U2

In my attempt to drive as much traffic as possible to Myspace, you can now stream the new U2 album on their page: http://www.myspace.com/U2

And as asked by my dot-comrade Cole, “who isn’t a U2 fan?” Somebody who needs to be punched in the kidney, that’s who.
