Catching Up: Cramer, Perl via Speech Rec, JetBlue is AWOL, etc.
I feel a little like I'm fighting a firehose lately, but here is another attempt to empty my exploding inbox o' stuff that people have sent me, as well as a few things I've run into myself:
- A profile of Jim "Mad Money" Cramer argues that Jim is slowing down a little. Evidence comes from friend Kurt Anderson: "You have dinner out with him, and he's not throwing things." (USNWR)
- Some of the jokes from Stephen "Blackstone" Schwarzman's recent 60th birthday party weren't bad (DealBook)
- The inmates are running the asylum at JetBlue, with passengers now flipping out pre-boarding at the least sign of a possible delay. As an investment aside, this story has now crossed over from human interest to investment, with there being a large and growing number of people who will not fly JetBlue, and a long list of others who'll try to avoid it.

- Fun with Vista speech recognition: Using it to (angrily) write a Perl script (YouTube)
- Startups target Nielsen (Variety)
- Call to SF Chron biz editor becomes famous (SF Chronicle)
- Crawling Ajax sites (via Ajaxian)
