I have a hard time suggesting individual songs, but anything from these albums makes good traveling music: Smokey & Miho's self-titled album, Radiohead's "The Bends," Arcade Fire's "Funeral," Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust," Los Amigos Invisible's "Arepa 3000," Sufjan Stevens' "Illinois," PJ Harvey's "Stories from the City/Stories from the Sea." Erykah Badu's "Mama's Gun." - Omar Gallaga
anything by guns and roses - David Thomas
MIAs Paper Planes has been good to me on the 21 flights I've taken this year. The gunshots are a good stress reliever when the other passengers are bugging you :) - Roshan Vyas
LOVE that song. - Omar Gallaga
ooh... lotsa good stuff previewed on iTunes so far and purchase. thanks guys! - Christine Lu

This is so bizarre, even the guy in the ad looks like he's thinking "what the hell is the point of this?" - Nicholas Kreidberg

No, but then I roll my own and don't buy laptops. - Alex Scoble
I always think so, until it's actually the time to buy and analyze pros and cons. Then I pick another PC. - Vinay
Nope, couldn't do my job if it was. Having a 64bit platform gives me enough compatibility to do my job while providing just enough software incompatibility to get me out of some mundane and/or unfun support work =) - Stupid Blogger
yup. been 5 years since i switched and i haven't skipped a beat so no need to think of PCs anymore. - Christine Lu
I think so, if we're talking about a laptop. The fact that I can run Windows on it is starting to seal the deal. The final sinker will be if Mac comes out with a Tablet-style portable. - Sergio Cruz
Wait, lemme finish laughing and come back.... - Yuvi
Yes. But my last four have also been Macs. There was a Sony VAIO back there somewhere. - Michael Markman
I switched some 4 years ago and using a PC at work feels like torture now. I don't think I'll ever buy one again myself, unless Apple dies and Microsoft buys OS X from them :) - Rubin Sfadj
pc's are crap, get a mac or linux, that is the only way to go, if you are not computer literate get a mac, its easier than a pc when you get use to it, not to mention.... STABLE - SoN9ne

Is Jon Stewart the Most Trusted Man in America? - NYTimes.com
Sunday at 8:35 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
"When Americans were asked in a 2007 poll by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press to name the journalist they most admired, Mr. Stewart, the fake news anchor, came in at No. 4, tied with the real news anchors Brian Williams and Tom Brokaw of NBC, Dan Rather of CBS and Anderson Cooper of CNN." - Hutch Carpenter via Bookmarklet
I am surprised he was only 4th (Couric, O'Relly and Gibson are the first 3) - Brian Sullivan
O'Reilly? Like Bill O'Reilly? What's he trusted to do, be an ass? - Jason Carreira
Yeah, O'Reilly's got his following. So be it. - Hutch Carpenter
I trust O'Reilly to piss me off. - Pete Delucchi
O'Reilly and Olbermann are on at the same time in my area. I look at O'Reilly to piss me off, then switch to Olbermann to calm me down and offer perspective. - Helen
The "piss me off" aspect is one I masochistically enjoy as well. And there can be grains of truth in what the "piss me off" guys say. At least you should know what a significant portion of the population is thinking. - Hutch Carpenter
The problem with people trusting O'Reilly is how often he just plain is wrong on his facts or manipulates them to a viewpoint that and shouting at someone doesn't really prove anything other than you are an ass. - Justin Yost
'Mr. Stewart has said he is looking forward to the end of the Bush administration “as a comedian, as a person, as a citizen, as a mammal.” ' - Sarah
II think I'd trust Stewart over any living news anchor. Tangent: Discovered in Germany that The Daily Show airs on CNN International on weekends. It was the best thing on CNN by far. But how's that for blurring the line between news and "news" ? - Abby Martin
how is o'reilly #3?? the guy that starred on Inside Edition and is full of right-wing spin is number 3??!?!? wtf. - Morgan
It's good that we still have a choice, and a range of voices. - Prokofy Neva
trust is fungible / proof is tough / belief is subjective - so what ... how many Americans still believe Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9-11? A tragedy of reason ... - Mad Inchina
@Mad I'd say a majority of those who trust O'Reilly at least... - Jason Carreira
Jason - there is truth in what you say. I wonder though - if not O'Reilly, wouldn't his audience turn to something similar? There's a hunger for his point of view, and his way of looking at the world. - Hutch Carpenter
i have a huge crush on Jon Stewart. just sayin'. - Christine Lu
This is why I love Stewart. When explaining the Russian-Georgian conflict: "War: God's way of teaching American's geography."! 'Nuff said. - Bonnie Dean

I not so much hated, but was terrified of all sorts of foods when I was a kid. Nowadays I love eating at all sorts of ethnic restaurants. I still hate crunchy onions and mushrooms though (exemption for mushrooms if I'm drunk though... they taste AWESOME when I'm fully buzzed). - Tad Donaghe
Beer, coffee, graperuit juice, anything that was bitter. Now I only eat bitter things. - Meg versusMeg
*Crunchy* onions? Interesting. I definitely grew up a texture eater. Enjoy food with substance. Hate biting into food with give, ie: mushrooms. But I LOVE mushroom flavor. Well-pureed mushroom soup is the bomb. - Lisa L. Seifert

Baby and Seesmic in Vegas airport
August 16 at 2:56 pm - Link
BabyScoble crawling back to the craps tables it seems. - Kevin Murray
Milan is adorable (and fast!) - karen2
Very cute Robert. Were you walking around with your laptop using seesmic, or do they have a new mobile app I'm unaware of? - Leif Hansen
Howdy Mr. Scoble, nice hanging with you in the airport. Milan *IS* sooo adorable and fast. (And I am willing to bet he will be a drummer.) And Leif, that was his laptop, but we're (seesmic) very excited to go mobile. - Thomas Knoll
so cute!!! - Christine Lu
Leif I was using my laptop for that. - Robert Scoble
looooooooooooooooooooove - ehsan11m
OMG I hope you sanitized him from head to toe - do you KNOW what's on the bottom of the shoes of Vegas air travelers? - jeneane sessum
heh, yeah, he got a good wiping down. Me? It is good for kids to get exposed to some dirt here and there. Prepares them for school. :-) - Robert Scoble
This is too cute! Why wasn't he at the expo? :) - Daynah
I agree w/you. Good to expose them to some stuff. Kids are washable. Lucian loved running around at the airport. PHX is really clean looking anyhow. You HAVE to let them do that before you get on the plane or else they can be miserable! - TheMacMommy
TheMacMommy: yeah, Milan slept the whole trip home, which was great. Daynah: it just never worked out, unfortunately. I wanted to bring him to stuff but he was always sleeping at the wrong time. - Robert Scoble
