Flunking Out at the Food Co-op
“I’m disgraced,” Ms. Colic confided as she sipped blueberry tea one day this summer at the Tea Lounge in Park Slope. “Look, you can see the sign from here,” she said, despondent, pointing to the neon green “Food Coop” shining across Union Street.
“ The crew stated they were in a heated discussion over airline policy and they lost situational awareness.

The NY Times adds, “”It just doesn’t make any sense,” Bill Voss, president of the Flight Safety Foundation in Alexandria, Va., told The A.P. “The pilots are saying they were involved in a heated conversation. Well, that was a very long conversation.”

For me, this photo by Sarah at Saipua perfectly captures that feeling of ahhhhh-autumn-sun-on-my-face-light-through-the-trees-the-air-feels-wonderful.

» Jason Kottke on 20x200's VC funding
In light of the new FTC guidelines for disclosure by bloggers2, a few somewhat relevent statements. 1. 20x200 has in the past paid $1200 to sponsor the kottke.org RSS feed. 2. I have linked to 20x200 and Jen Bekman’s gallery several times on kottke.org, for which Jen Bekman has thanked me, which is a good feeling, to be thanked, and perhaps that subconsciously predisposes me towards future linking because who doesn’t like to be thanked? 3. Jen Bekman is a friend. 4. I also know Caterina Fake, Zach Klein, and Scott Heiferman socially; they are a few of 20x200’s angel investors. 5. I am a resident of New York City, in which 20x200 is headquartered. 6. I have purchased art from 20x200 in the past. 7. I may have received a 20x200 print from Jen Bekman herself, either as a straight-up gift or as a promotional item. Honestly, I can’t remember if she gave me anything, what it was, or the circumstances of the giving. 8. I have received 20x200 prints as gifts from others. They are thanked. 9. I know my wife and my wife knows Jen Bekman. 10. I may have unwittingly posed for photos next to 20x200 artwork hanging in my residence or in the residences of others, giving the impression that I am endorsing said artwork. Apologies. 11. I have agreed to, at some point in the future, curating a selection of artworks for 20x200 and then chatting casually with Jen Bekman about my choices, an edited transcript of which will appear on the 20x200 web site. As far as I know, no payment for this service is forthcoming and if it was, I would refuse it politely. 12. Jen Bekman’s dog’s name is Ollie. So is my son’s.
