Arizona Cardinals name new stadium: University of Phoenix Stadium
The first public article went live at midnight here: http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles/0926biz-namingrights0926.html It’s way too late for me to write too much that’s articulate, but I’ve been told that there’s a press conference at 10:00 AM PST to announce details and that we’d all know more then.

Robert Scoble has been talking about video blogging, and it’s got me thinking.
Evening at McCarran Airport
There’s a moving sidewalk that leads right into a funnel of double doors off of the A gates — the passage narrows considerably, which shouldn’t be a problem with normal traffic flow…. The doors shut automatically and this stream of people from the moving sidewalk just sort of…… They didn’t adjust like fluid and move around the moving sidewalk to the sides, back up the hallway…. For five minutes this has been happening and it’s not stopping…___OK, so it’s stopped, the doors are open and no one knows what it was, just that it has to do with a security breach at the Burger King.Say it again.
