Waiting

Nick Momrik2 Comments

After airline passengers wouldn’t stop complaining about the time they spent at baggage claim (even when more staff were added and wait times fell) a Houston airport simply moved the arrival gates so that passengers spent more of their “wait” time walking to the baggage claim. The complaints all but disappeared.

Where I Am Today

I was a little sad to hear that Macworld will not take place in 2015. In 2008, while working for SVSU, I went to Macworld in San Francisco. I attended a WordPress meetup, met Matt, and ended up getting a job with Automattic. Without Macworld I wouldn’t be where I am today.

A Derek Jeter I Will Follow

Derek Jeter has been all over the news in the sports world this year because of his retirement from the Yankees. I don’t give a shit. I think he’s starting something pretty cool though, called The Players’ Tribune.

Introducing The Players’ Tribune, a new media platform that will present the unfiltered voices of professional athletes, bringing fans closer to the games they love than ever before. Founded by Derek Jeter, The Players’ Tribune aims to provide unique insight into the daily sports conversation and to publish first-person stories directly from athletes. From video to podcasts to player polls and written pieces, The Tribune will strive to be “The Voice of the Game.”
