OK, they have 110v. outlets on Virgin America.  But:

1) Maximum power is 200W.  —-  most hairdryers are 1500W.

2) Most of the outlet in coach are dead.

3) Who is going to wash her hair in that little sink?

Geez Richard, have you ever flown on the planes?  Try to review the ads before they put them on the side of a building in San Francisco, dude.

Google has arrived on the Embarcadero in San Francisco.

The restaurants love it. They fill up the Epic Roast House.  Jan Birnbaum, the head chef told me the other day that he was hosting a gathering for 70 Googlers that evening —- “I love Monopoly Money” he said. We see the black Bauer’s buses waiting to pick them up (with their engines idling). — got to keep the WiFi alive. Little compact cars labeled “Google Security” patrol the block around the Hills Center. — keeping Googlers safe from something. And this is a photo of their office taken at 6 AM on Saturday morning. Wow, they are hard workers. —- everyone is in the office and the lights are blazing.

 

Good vs. Evil?

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Back in when I was active in the stockmarket (shorting technology stocks) a wise old gentleman took me aside and whispered in my ear. “it’s all crooked you know.” Well, Jack Fulham is still alive and I’ve known for a long time that he was right. I’d like to believe the he wasn’t right about the application of this lesson to everything in the world. With Elliot Spitzer I imagined it there was still a battle waged between good and evil. — wrong again. It’s a battle between scumbags and evil scumbags.
