Between travel and being in 3 days of meetings last week, I didn’t get to really mine my sources as much as I like to, so a somewhat abbreviated set this week.

A language is more than a listing of its words.

A review of “National Treasure” (Not the Nicolas Cage movie) and thoughts on the issues surrounding it.
There are bad movies. There are very bad movies. There are historically bad movies.
And then, there’s The Room.
The re-start of Eastern Airlines went well, especially with how they communicated to the brand’s fans. Then, everything went downhill and my hopes for the “Wings of Man” went down the drain.
