I just have a couple of links to share with you today. First, this neat animation of US Airways 1549 with the audio between the cockpit and ground control. It really helps give you a sense of not only what happened, but how calm Sully stayed during the whole thing. That’s one of the things…

A trend I have lately noticed with greater frequency is the extirpation of the words “to be” from their rightful place in both written and spoken statements. Unfortunately, I don’t have any specific examples to which I can link directly to illustrate what I mean, but a Google search of the phrase “need changed” returns…

If you haven’t heard about it, the comet Lulin has been very close to Earth for the past few days. Morah and I wanted to see it, but every morning and every evening it has been cloudy outside, and usually raining (or, as was the case this morning, snowing).

I admit that I’ve shown my hand; in case you couldn’t tell from the title, the common problem in each is commercials. We’ll get…

Continuing with my theme of posts about television, today’s post has to do with T.V. show scheduling and is aimed directly at the networks themselves.
