    Thought I lost this guy!  Got to VT on Friday and couldn’t find my board anywhere.  After search party + frantic text msgs, realized it got dropped off at the tune shop last February (!!) where it’s spent 9 MONTHS gathering dust.  Oops.:

    Screenshot from a checkout terminal at Target (Milford MA).  They use game mechanics (scoring / personal leaderboad) to encourage faster checkout times: 

See the DNA-esque string in the middle?
G = green = fast
R = red = slow(er)
Here’s her last 10 check-outs - fast, except for a few random stragglers..   The big “G” is the prob the calculated average-time-per-checkout (last 10?) while total must be all 44 checkouts.  I wonder what the 88% stands for… 
Girl running the checkout scored a “G” on Chelsa  - said the whole thing “makes work feel like a game”  :)

    About to clean off the whiteboard from last year’s ski season…   I haven’t been to VT since January 9th (!! - been so busy working on 4SQ) and only got 21 days in last season :(: 

Breakdown:
By Jan 4 = 12 days on snow
By Jan 11 = 14 days
Utah = +3 (17 days)
Jackson = +4 days (21 total)
I try to shoot for 30 (hit 30 exactly in 07/08), maybe this year I’ll get closer

    This is brilliant, tho have a feeling you’ll never see these side-by-side @ local B&N  (or Amazon, which is also a shame… as the title is like the book equivalent of those “gogle.com” typo URLs :): 

“Going Rogue: An American Life”  (Amazon)www.amazon.com/Going-Rogue-American-Sarah-Palin/dp/006193…
“Going Rouge: An American Nightmare”  (OR Books)orbooks.com/
