This will more than likely spread by email/twitter pretty rapidly but it is pretty tough not to smile when you watch it. Now you can be first to send the email…
Draft Sully
That didn’t take long. Less than 24 hours after Capt. Chesley B. Sullenberger III saved 155 lives by setting his plane down on the Hudson, you can purchase apparel promoting him to a new position.
Draft Sully for Secretary of Transportation
Which kudos do you give for that? Capitalism? Technology?
A foodie
I have a strange relationship with food. I love food but I don’t like to eat. Not avoiding eating in the anorexic sense, just the fact that many foods don’t go down well into my stomach. I know that it is a mental thing but in 30 years I haven’t been able to beat it.
I love food. I like the way it smells, the way it looks on a plate, how it looks in high-definition, the science behind making it all work together and the people who work with and around food. And with all of that, I don’t like food.
I want to like food. I really do. If I loved food, I would no longer be the “lowest common denominator” in any food related discussion in my circle. People would no longer have to base their food decisions on whether or not I would be negatively affected. Stories told about who the pickiest eater of all is would cease before my name became the capstone. I wish I could enjoy food.
There are things “I know” I can’t eat even though I have never even tried them. I have no idea what eggplant tastes like but I’ve seen it and have convinced myself that it won’t make it past my tongue.

Social media amazes me
Before I saw a single news headline or heard anything about it, I saw a flickr image of the plane in the Hudson today taken from a camera-phone by a person on the boat sent to rescue the passengers.
It made it to Twitter and then copied to Flickr within minutes and spread like wildfire from there.
Kudos to the pilot for saving lives. Kudos to the photographer for the shot and the share. Kudos to the net for changing the way I consume and learn.
Feltron Eight
Nicholas Feltron is the creator of Daytum – the home of collecting and communicating your daily data. A service to which I have no invite to as of yet but I hope to gain invitation in the near future.
For the last several years he has tracked everything from mileage walked to food eaten during the year and then published a high quality report about it all. Pretty interesting stuff. Useless I suppose, but interesting nevertheless.
