9/27    If you are taking a complementary left-wing socialist airport shuttle
        from an airport hotel, how much tip is proper?  I feel like if the
        driver doesn't do anything to help me (opening the shuttle door for me
        isn't helping me, I can do it myself) or make a nice conversation with
        me, I don't feel like I need to tip him.  But if we have a nice
        conversation, or he somehow goes out of his way for me, then I feel
        he deserves a buck or 2.  What do all you others out there in
        motdland think?
        \_ Give him what you're comfortable with.  -John
          \_ So unlike in a restaurant, it's not expected that every single
             person will give the guy a tip?
             \_ Well, he might be expecting it.  I also expect a pony.
                See above... -John
                \_ NOPONY!
        \_ If you're the only one or two folks on the shuttle, I'd say a buck
           or two if he did his job.  I've found if there's more people on
           the shuttle it's a game of "run off the shuttle with the sheeple".

9/18    The Space Shuttle Endeavour is doing a fly over of Nasa Ames on Friday:

        \_ They have reached their cap on car passes!  Ahh!  I wish I heard
           about this earlier! :-(
        \_ I saw it above HW 101 in San Mateo this morning.  I wonder how many
           people in the Bay Area watched it (the real thing, not a broadcast.)

3/9     "First amateur video of Challenger shuttle explosion revealed"
        http://www.csua.org/u/vqh (news.yahoo.com)
        Given that the explosion occured so far up in the sky, why was the
        "boom" sound heard at the same time as the visual explosion?  Shouldn't
        there have been a couple seconds of delay?
        \_ Wake up, sheeple!

        NASA keeps air safety data private to avoid public panic.
        \_ If we give people real things to worry about, they might stop
           caring about the War on Terrah.
        \_ NASA?  Shouldn't FAA be doing this?
           \_ NASA = Nat'l _Aeronautics_ and Space Administration.
