The small aircraft plane crash (two colliding with each other) in San Diego today at 4:40 p.m. happened in front of my eyes as I pulled out on the main street near our house in El Cajon, CA to drive Conrad to golf lessons. I didn’t catch the actual collision but the falling on fire plane parts. I was dialing 911 so I wasn’t able to snap a picture with my camera phone. My 911 call didn’t go through (I’m guessing that it was probably pretty overloaded because the crash was pretty visible to many on Interstate 8). By the time we made it to the street by the fire station, they were starting to roll out to provide help. I heart goes out to the families who lost love ones.
P.S. I’m writing this from LAX – taking the red eye to DC. Using the new Cingular access card from work. I was using Verizon EVDO but had to switch because of contracting issues. So far so good. But there isn’t UMTS in LAX apparently so I’m on the slower GSM-something-or-another.

43Folders.com’s email list via Google (which discusses amoung other thing Getting) had a very interesting thread about "Manbags" (aka day-to-day bags for ‘men’). I personlly use a fanny pack most of the time or an older Eagle Creek Travel Pack; and my day-to-day dual-laptop backpack is from Tom Bihn.
Here is are some of the links mentioned in the thread:

RocketBoom was used in last night’s CSI Las Vegas. A search for a "term" was done on Go0gle, which returned a bunch of links, and one of those links was a reference to a RocketBoom newsreport. The person doing the searching clicked on the link and then the "report" was given by Amanda. It was very neat to see the integration of "Internet Video News" and great publicity for RocketBoom.
