we are all connected 24/7
There’s a plane in the Hudson. I’m on the ferry going to pick up the people. Crazy.
Janis Krums made the above post to twitpic and instantly became our man on the spot (one of many as evidenced by gizmodo, but probably one of the closest). We are all capable of disseminating information to the masses instantly and since we are all usually everywhere at all times, there will always be at least one of us to catch something for the rest to see. This is an excitiing time (aside from plane crashes into the Hudson that is – and I’m very glad that everyone made it out ok).

rdf [reality-distortion field]
from urbandictionary.com:
Short for reality-distortion field. An expression used to describe the persuasive ability of managers like Steve Jobs (the term originated at Apple in the 1980s to describe his peculiar charisma). Those close to these managers become passionately committed to possibly insane projects, without regard to the practicality of their implementation or competitive forces in the marketpace.
Steve Jobs is extremely demanding of all those around him and has a very low tolerance for anything but excellence. Because he can be shockingly blunt in his dealings with others, he is often portrayed as abusive, but this is dead wrong. He simply demands/expects great things from everyone around him. I honestly believe he can’t understand why anyone would want to waste their time doing anything less than great.
