F’in airline pilot f’s up their Easter

Travel

As someone who flies quite a lot, I am always interested in stories and news about airline flights. Today’s CNN story about a Northwest flight out of Las Vegas being cancelled because the pilot (I can’t believe this, yes the pilot!) was causing a disturbance (swearing up a storm and even at the passengers) that resulted in the police being called. Definitely something not right there and obviously, not at all normal. Talk about killing your career.

The fact that the flight was cancelled and the 180 passengers are now stuck in Las Vegas as a result of this definitely sucks.

They probably wouldn’t be in the mood to watch this hilarious t.v. ad for the psycho stewardess who is trying to quit smoking. I wonder if that is what was wrong with the pilot?

I have definitely not had either of these experiences when flying.

Danny Simmons (from ADO.NET team) talks about Entity Framework on DotNetRocks

Data Access

There are a lot of us who have been looking forward to this show being posted: Daniel Simmons on ADO.NET Entity Framework. Now I have to find some time this weekend to listen to it. Roger Jennings has a fantastic analysis of the show here. While at DevConnections, Richard and Carl were talking about how much fun this show was to do. They didn’t know anything about Entity Framerwork when they started and were definitely fascinated with it. I’m glad that more people are going to get exposed to EF!

Here is a link to Danny’s blog.
