...just golfers in a bad mood. Those corporate sponsors shelling out $240,000 just love schmoozing clients ticked off they can't follow Tiger. And forget about the fans. During a walk around Bethpage on Thursday, it was easy to stumble into tales of woe. One guy was stuck on a bus for three hours before getting to the course, only to be told that play was canceled. Many shelled out big bucks for opening day. "I waited a year-and-a-half for this and paid $200 for a ticket, and this is what I got," says Joe Pucci...
...Melting-Pot Kitchen Some of the stuff in Cooking Dirty beggars belief - like the time Sheehan accidentally stuck an 8-in. (20 cm) chef's knife right through his hand, pulled it out and went back to chopping - but so far there has been relatively little actual post-Bourdainian fiction. Possibly the first novel of consequence is Monica Ali's In the Kitchen, set in a hotel restaurant in London. The restaurant's executive chef, Gabriel, has clawed his way up effortfully from the working classes, but having done so, he is now, at 42, having a midlife crisis...
...taken with the creatures and their environment. The dinos have plausibility and personality, and there are enough rocks, jutting jaws and monster guts thrown at the screen to make a 3-D version of the movie appealing. Production designer Bo Welch's desert vistas - with, say, an ocean liner stuck in the sand at a 60-degree angle - bring Dalíesque visions to a routine action comedy...
...which pretty much created the personal digital assistant (PDA). It enabled people to organize all their stuff on a computer, then sync it to the device. Handspring, Palm's successor in a convoluted corporate history, merged the PDA with a cell phone, but to Rubinstein it was sync that stuck out: "We looked at Palm's DNA and said, 'What made it great?' Synching - from Day One, Palm has been about synching." But these days, people don't want to be tethered to a computer, he says. "People keep their data all over the place. It's no longer spread...
...coming into his own in a way typical of a post-boomer. Like the rest of his age cohort in all walks of life, he's taking over an institution just as it has become diminished. Network TV, newspapers, Social Security, American hegemony - all seem to have stuck around just long enough to crap out on the post-boomers. The Tonight Show is still a lucrative platform, but it's not the singular cultural voice it was when Jay took over. Conan competes for attention with Jimmy Kimmel, David Letterman, Stephen Colbert and more - plus whatever happens...
