Scary moments at 30,000 feet

Jeremy Hermanns describes the scene on board an Alaska Airlines MD-83 after a hole in the plane causes a rapid depressurization of the cabin and deployment of oxygen masks and such. Includes photos from his Treo. It’s a very interesting read, and I’m glad that the pilots of the aircraft were able to bring the plane in for a quick, safe landing.

More IntelliStar stupidity

Look at this small screencap of my IntelliStar’s 3-day extended forecast. Note Thursday and how retarded it looks.

Moronic usage of word spacing on the 3-day EF

My IntelliStar is buzzing. :(

Every time I watch the Local Forecast on the Weather Channel, the Intellistar – the computer in our area that runs the local forecast presentation – emits this awful buzzing sound once or twice (sometimes three times depending on which products display) during the forecast.

It sucks.

Rant:  Over.  :)
