Good Experience: Budgeting for Advertising and Customer Experience. I told her that seemed a tad low for an annual budget to be spent improving the site for customers, especially given that the annual revenue of the company was around $50 million. "Well," she responded, "we already spend $30 million a year just on advertising, so there's not much left over." [Tomalak's Realm]

On The Road With Airport Express.

airport_express_2.jpg imageAlone, this post on Powerpage.org about using the Airport Express in a hotel room might not be quite link-worthy, but as people keep adding comments to it with their experiences, it's starting to become even more interesting. It would be nice if hotels would start making information about their "in-room internet" a little more detailed, as it becomes clear from everyone's experiences that the different internal network configurations from hotel to hotel make a big difference in how you need to use your Airport Express (or any other Wi-Fi bridge or router) to get online. It would be nice if the hotel management would just tell you their settings in the first place (although I suppose that's sort of like expecting them to tell you what gauge of pipe they use in the commode.)

Head over and share your on-the-road experiences with other AX users.

The Economist: Access all areas. At the moment, the entire open access literature is tiny--less than 1% of what is published according to the Public Library of Science. But if governments were to insist that the results of research they fund must be published in an open-access way, that would change completely. [Tomalak's Realm]
