Travels with Barack

Tuesday, October 21, 2008 around 9 pm mountain time

I love the photographs Callie has made in this collection. I love even more she lives in one of my favorite places.

The Digital PhotoJournalist:

Four years ago Time photographer Callie Shell met Barack Obama backstage when she was covering presidential candidate John Kerry. She sent her editor more photographs of Obama than Kerry. When asked why, she said, “I do not know. I just have a feeling about him. I think he will be important down the road.” Her first photo essay on Obama was two and half years ago. She has stuck with him ever since.Â

If you haven’t heard, LinkedIn released a new iPad app this week. The company’s developers have been writing blog posts about the technology behind the app, and many in the development community are intrigued to read the details.

AF447 and Airbus’ Side Sticks

Wow. Not accusatory but certainly a conversation-starting article on the latest in the Air France 447 crash by The Telegraph. A pilot’s control in the Airbus, called Side Sticks, are the center of this story as the BEA calls for a potential redesign of the cockpit and instrumentation ahead of the final crash report to [...]

The Rebuilding Year

This is why I love Roanoke lacrosse. Matt Burkhead wrote and produced this 33-minute video highlighting what was supposed to be a rebuilding year in 2011. After losing 15 seniors, five All-Americans (including their starting goalie), and two position players of the year at the end of the 2010 season, most lacrosse fans suspected that [...]

Air France 447 Cockpit Voice Recording

I somehow missed this a few weeks ago. Popular Mechanics has a detailed article analyzing the transcript of AF447′s cockpit voice recorder. It is chilling and incredible and horrifying and terribly sad. Bonin yields the controls, and Robert finally puts the nose down. The plane begins to regain speed. But it is still descending at [...]
