About Bond | September 2008
BUT MOST OF IT STILL SUCKS.
“I can’t find anything”
“I don’t know where to look”
“This makes no sense to me.”
“Huh?”
“Why can’t it be more like Google?” “Why did they put that here?”
“I want to close my browser window and never come back.”
“I can’t find what I’m looking for”
“This site seems broken.”
“There’s too much stuff all over the place.”
“What am I supposed to do here?”
“It’s too hard to read.”
“I don’t know what to click on”
“It takes a million clicks to get to what you want.”
“It crashed.”
“It’s like they didn’t even think about it.”
“THIS IS LAME”
“WTF?”

It Wasn't All Bad
Pierre, a 25-year-old African penguin, was getting so
old that he was losing his feathers. He shivered with
cold and refused to go near water. But his handlers at
the California Academy of Sciences had a novel
solution: a custom-made wet suit. Working with
Oceanic Worldwide, a supplier of diving gear, academy
scientists made Pierre a close-fitting rubber garment
with openings for his flippers, tail, and feet. “I would
walk behind him,” said biologist Pam Schaller, “and
look at where there were any gaps, and cut and refit
and cut and refit until it was extremely streamlined.”
Since wearing the suit, Pierre has gained weight and is
again splashing with his fellow penguins.

How to judge Clinton’s WestVirginia landslideHillary Clinton’s huge win in West Virginia
throws a wrench in Obama’s “certain victory”
in the Democratic primary, said Jennifer
Rubin in a Commentary blog, because no one
there liked him—not “women, seniors,
uneducated, educated, whites, poor people—
none of them.” So maybe Clinton is doing
Obama “a favor,” said E.J. Dionne in The
Washington Post, by exposing his and the
Democrats’ “weaknesses” . . .
What the earthquaketells us about ChinaChina’s leaders “have
marshaled an impressive
rescue,” said the Toronto Star
in an editorial, and the one
edict from Premier Jiabao, “Save the people,”
even extends to “welcoming the world’s offer of
help.” The government’s “brief flirtation with
openness and responsiveness” doesn’t mean
China is “headed toward Western-style
democracy,” said Andrew Jacobs in a New York
Times analysis, but . . .
The Vatican’sextraterrestrialendorsementThe Vatican’s top astronomer,
Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, said
the Roman Catholic faith was
not incompatible with believing in extraterrestrial
life. That would seem to “raise certain
uncomfortably absurd theological questions for
the Church," said Allahpundit in the blog Hot Air.
Actually, the idea of extraterrestrial life is “far
from a new one” for Christians, said Mike Nizza
in a New York Times blog . . .
Clear Channel Settles, Sony Likes GamesClear Channel agrees to be bought out at a reduced
price, after a legal settlement with the financiers.
Sony sees profits ahead for its struggling
PlayStation 3 unit. And studying in Paris is going
the way of the slumping greenback . . .
Best Columns: Middle-class meltdown,
Pessimism pandemicThe U.S. used to be “the great middle-class
nation,” says Thomas Frank in The Wall Street
Journal, but that may not be true any longer. We
used to be a nation of optimists, says Zachary
Karabell, also in The Wall Street Journal, but
we’ve hit a dangerous “cultural rut of pessimism.”

McCartney's eco-car troubleAs a gift to former Beatle Paul
McCartney, Japanese-based car
company Lexus flew an LS 600h
hybrid to the musician in Britain.
But now both McCartney and
Lexus are facing criticism over the
inefficiency of transporting the car
by plane instead of ship.
McCartney probably didn't know
about Lexus' decision to fly the
car, said the green gossip blog
ecorazzi. Yes, said the
environmental blog earthfirst, but
how green is a high-performance
luxury limo anyway? . . .
