One From The Road

(Thanks to Engadget.com by way of TreoBits.com for pointing me to this article I missed when it first appeared earlier this year.)
As if I didn’t have enough reasons to question why I listened to some other friends/associates and stuck with Verizon rather than switching to Sprint or another service, the San Francisco Chronicle has an interview with Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg, wherein he makes the following brilliant declaration:

“Why in the world would you think your (cell) phone would work in your house? The customer has come to expect so much.”

Just got the latest issue of Lighting & Sound America in the mail today. Imagine my shock when one of the cover articles is the bazillionth story in the last few months about the Coachella festival.

I’ll say it clearly, on the chance that any of the powers-that-be at any of the trade mags are actually seeing this. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who’s sick and tired of reading the same basic article about the same damned festival in every magazine in the industry; let alone when the same magazine does more than one article on it. And I’m pretty sure there were at least a couple articles on this festival in the mags last year, too. Enough already!
