Bye Bye Corporate Jets – Welcome Bigwigs

Jason Bean — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 21:07:37 +0000

Ahh it seems there’s always a new story popping up about some company’s CEO’s or other executives being scrutinized and critiqued for their way of doing business. Most of it comes with the bailout right? I mean if the government is going to give you all that money, they want to know what it’s being used for and who’s doing what with what right? Funny, I don’t get the same transparency with my tax dollars now do I?

What we’re looking at though is a huge problem for these executives. The world as they know it is drastically changing and they’re going to be lost without their normal methods of accomplishing daily activities. Activities like getting from Point A to Point B quickly.

Luckily JetBlue has stepped in and made this little instructional website that should help out in this situation. They’ve provided “The CEO’s Guide to Jetting“.

If you know a CEO, or perhaps even an ex-CEO, let them know about this website so they won’t be lost in the near future when they need to do some air travel.

I found this video this morning on my Vimeo update. Very nice. Why don’t I "see" this stuff when I’m out with my camera? Or more importantly perhaps, when I do see it, why don’t I think to record it?

Crazy Men Jumping Off Cliffs Gracefully

Although absolutely mind-numbing in it’s lunacy, this could be some of the coolest combination of sports I think I’ve seen in quite some time.

The grace of skiing off a cliff, doing some amazing somersaults and flips and then transforming into a human flying-squirrel is pretty cool!
