...assembling JetBlue, he had already launched three airlines, including Morris Air, which he sold to Southwest, and WestJet in Canada. Forced by a non-compete clause with Southwest to stay on the sidelines, he spent years figuring out JetBlue. He raised a ton of capital so he could weather any early storms or cut-throat price wars. He bought brand new Airbus A320s to give customers confidence; he equipped them with satellite TVs and gave you enough seat room so that you could open a newspaper without slapping the passenger next to you. He ran the company...
...weather has certainly improved here in the Northeast, but things are still a little bumpy at JetBlue, and the board believed it was time to get the company in the hands of a first-class operations guy, Dave Barger, the COO. Barger has proven ops chops, having helped turn Continental around. (Although he certainly has to take some blame for February, too.) In some ways, dumping Neeleman isn't a surprising move. He's a great entrepreneur, but perhaps one of those types who is much better at innovating than operating. The skill sets are vastly different, and many entrepreneurs...
...waiting for Third Eye Blind to come on stage at Yardfest, I thought with relish about the beautiful day on which Yardfest 2006 had taken place.

I wasn’t the only one turned off by the weather: Unlike Yardfest 2006, which packed Tercentenary Theatre all the way back to the Widener steps, this year Tercentenary was less than half full when Third Eye Blind walked on stage. Ironically, Yardfest 2006 had a rain plan?...
Today I don’t remember prefrosh weekend particularly well: The awkward introductions, the poor weather, and the inaugural Mather Lather have blurred together in my memory. I do, however, distinctly remember reading an article in the “pre-frosh” edition of The Crimson, which purported to describe the course of a typical undergraduate’s social life...
...University’s shoddy Web portal, my.harvard.edu, again. Thanks to CrimsonConnect.com, a new Web portal co-founded by Tom D. Hadfield ’08 and Benjamin P. Schwartz ’10, students would be able to read their e-mail, find out the weather, check campus events and happenings, scope out the dining hall’s menu, and access their course Web pages—among other things—all at one beautiful, easily customizable portal. Students would only have to navigate the clunky, seven-year-old my.harvard interface to print their study cards...
