All Knowledge Is Contained in Blogdom?
Some questions that I would love to have answered, should anybody have good answers:
Who is the guy in the Coke commercial? There's this Coke spot getting a lot of play during the NCAA's, featuring a middle-aged guy carrying a bag of groceries, who backs down and dunks over a young punk. He looks like he ought to be recognizable as a former basketball star, but I can't figure out who he is, and Kate couldn't turn it up on Google.
Why does iTunes's ripping feature suck so much? Something like one track in every eight that I ripped when I was transferring my CD collection onto iTunes has glitches in it, and one in ten has skips and jumps that are serious enough to be annoying to listen to. This includes some of my favorite tracks. I am deeply annoyed by this.
Is there a better CD-ripping utility I should be using? It's got to run under Windows, and not be Windows Media Player.
What's with the exposed-struts-and-cables school or airport achritecture? Isn't the process of modern air travel dehumanizing enough without making every airport look like the inside of a warehouse?
What is the policy on shoes at airport security checks? Seriously, I'd love to know. I suspect that the answer is "There is no policy," because it's about fifty-fifty whether they ask me to take my sneakers off or not. I wish they'd make up their minds. (Actually, I wish they'd make up their minds in the direction of "You don't have to take your sneakers off, ever," but if I can't get sensible, I'll settle for consistent.)
OK, the last two are mostly rhetorical, but I'd really like answers to the first three.
