evangotlib asked: What hotel chain? You can probably get a refund or at least a credit due to the storm. I worked in the travel industry for six years so am pretty familiar with hotel policies.

No NOLA for New Year's.
We were supposed to fly down to New Orleans tomorrow at 7am, but JetBlue just cancelled our outbound flight. The next available flight to New Orleans isn’t until January 3rd - the day we were supposed to fly back to New York.

– E-books Entice as New Frontier for Ads - WSJ.com I am most definitely not a traditionalist.  Yet this seems like an awful idea.  The only way I see this working is if an advertiser’s sponsorship or ad deal allows for free books to the consumer.  But even then it’s a stretch. (via evangotlib) ...

At least, unlike MasterCard, Visa isn’t already claiming that Wikileaks was convicted of a crime. Instead, it’s just said that it’s suspended any work with Wikileaks “pending further investigation into the nature of its...

MSN FilmFan Script Outtake: Yogi Bear Edition
Continuing the mixed-demographic-message, Yogi Bear and Boo Boo rang the NASDAQ bell in Times Square on December 7th. Unfortunately, upon hearing the words “bear” and “market” in the same sentence, Wall Street immediately petitioned the White House for more bailout money. Whoops.
