I'm from Madison, I've been there *and* talked to the creator. He's a really wild, nice guy with one heck of an imagination. Definitely something to see.

I use Amtrak semi-regularly to visit my best friend in Milwaukee, WI from Chicago. I love it. It's fast, easy, and way cheaper than me renting/owning a car.

A few months ago while waiting in line (something I rarely have to do, I was simply late due to traffic and missed my plane so I needed to reschedule) I heard a women commenting loudly about the lack of security and how someone could come in and blow us all up no problem. I wanted to tell her to shut up, and stop scare mongering.

I love that I can get to the station 5 min before, print out my ticket and get on the train. There's not a faster or more comfortable way to get me to Milwaukee for a weekend. The bus is cheaper, but slower and *much* less comfortable.

Definitely not looking forward to the checks. But, as bad as I might feel saying it, I probably won't have to worry much about it due to the color of my skin.

If you don't like the TV on at a bar or restaurant, ask the manager to shut it off. If they won't, don't go to said restaurant or bar anymore. Don't be a jerk and potentially ruin it for anyone else.

While it's one thing to turn of a wall of TVs, it's another thing all together to shut off a TV someone is actively using, be it for a presentation or a game.

Sure, they can just turn it back on but when a screen goes black like that during a presentation I doubt your first thought would be that someone had turned it off from the audience.

If you go to the iPod touch page in Apple's online store, the same 'unofficial' image is on the page in the lower right corner. Not saying this is proof there's bluetooth, just that I doubt it's an unofficial image, rather a mistake in the mockup.
