Find a place to park: Thanks to video cameras and a bit of technology, parking will soon be easier at Sea-Tac airport. The system tracks spaces in an effort to limit parking rage.

That’s good. The airport is already full of lost-baggage rage, fuel-surcharge rage and slow-security rage.

The author of “The Pornography of Power” is on the road, talking about his book on the Sept. 11 attacks. Sen. Larry Craig and Eliot Spitzer won’t be going to any of the talks. They’re still pouting because that’s what they wanted to call their books.
