Monday evening roundup

I was talking to a colleague who'd just returned from Tokyo. She talked about... wait for it... getting lost in the subway.

Another colleague talked about... wait for it... enduring a red-eye while seated not far from a screaming infant. The flight attendants kept suggesting stuff-bringing stuff, too--to help the mother, but she just shrugged and said, "you know, babies cry." The rest of us really appreciate that attitude. It's not like we benefit from sleep, or anything.

Don't underestimate the power of SpongeBob.

Social networking for a good cause. You've got to appreciate those creative young minds!
