Investor's Business Daily: It costs $12,000 to fill the gas tank of a 747. One large airline estimated it saves 17 gallons annually for each pound of weight removed per plane. It shed in-flight phones, some ovens and galley equipment and excess potable water. Alaska Airlines has said that removing just five magazines per aircraft could save $10,000 per year in fuel costs. via Nick.

Another incentive to lose weight and stay healthy! 9:47 PM James McDaniel said... Zach! I've been listening to this collection of indie Christmas songs which you posted about, I guess around last Christmas. I was wondering if you knew where it could be downloaded again, or if there was an updated collection? 9:50 PM Post a Comment |

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
