The Flick -- A term used by air traffic controllers to describe a mental model representing the current and future positions of air traffic in a section of airspace. Controllers visualize the paths of multiple aircraft in terms of position, altitude, trajectory and speed. Controllers also refer to this as "having the picture." But the picture moves -- like a movie -- hence the term “the flick.”

Schwarzenegger is a Scottish Socialist
All right, I know I’m getting a little close to the edge but I can’t get this one out of my head. I saw this video a few days ago and I can’t even remember on which site I saw it. Anyway, although I found it entertaining, I gave it a pass. It’s a great political commercial. But it’s a quirky idea, so I passed on passing it along to my readers.
And then the bridge caught on fire.
As you all probably know, the truck caught on fire, the bridge (overpass) burned and San Francisco has a world class traffic jam. You might have caught the blurb about Governor Schwarzenegger making all public transportation free of charge in order to help deal with the crisis.
Suddenly, what was a quirky, out-of-left-wing (but interesting) idea is now a reality -- Free public transportation. Watch the video.
