Both Al Taubenberger and Michael Nutter were on the job on Labor Day. And both were promising a real race in November, though that was undermined a bit by the fact that Michael Nutter began his day by speaking to a crowd of labor leaders gathered to also hear from AFL-CIO president John Sweeney, and Al Taubenberger started his day by listening to Michael Nutter. (Maybe Nutter's exalted perch was a Democrat/union labor thing.)
Still, I was relieved to hear not only that both promise to compete, but that they did it with a little wit.
From Chris Brennan's coverage in today's Daily News:
Nutter laughed at the notion of a hiatus between the May primary and Labor Day, asking: “Did we ever stop?”
On stage, Nutter spoke of Democratic unity after a five-way primary. “The primary is over and all five of us who ran in that race are all still working to make Philadelphia a great place,” he said.
The other four candidates from the Democratic primary were, however, noticeably absent at yesterday’s festivities.
As he marched with union members from Washington Avenue to Penn’s Landing, Nutter was repeatedly addressed as “Mr. Mayor” or “Mayor Nutter.”
But Nutter refuses to buy into the public perception of his inevitable victory.
“I learned a long time ago when I was playing high school football to play to the last whistle and when there is no time left on the clock,” Nutter said. “We’re not slowing down until the polls close at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 6. That’s how I play.”
Taubenberger, who mingled with Republican City Councilmen Frank Rizzo and Jack Kelly, praised Nutter as a “good man” but promised a competitive race. He said Democratic control of the city for almost six decades had created unhappy voters ready for a change in City Hall.
“You know what? Underdogs do win,” Taubenberger said. “Ask Mike Nutter.”

A promised race. Mmmmm.. More a twilight ride for whose thought determination and indistinct definitions.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
Posted by reincarcare cartele | October 26, 2011 9:25 AM
Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.
Posted by tarot en català | October 26, 2011 8:41 PM
Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
