Boarding Pass/Fail (via ISO50)
I dig the hell out of that initial design — apart from the choice of Titling Gotham for the main info in the center, even here on a big-ish monitor those numbers are more of a strain to read than they should be.
Thermal printing notwithstanding, how cool would it be to have a default boarding pass layout with branding as the differentiating factor? That would be sweet.
I really, really like the practical boarding pass redesign response. Aces! How do we get airlines to adopt it?
Having said that: the Virgin America boarding passes rule as they make excellent bookmarks. And! if you’re the sort who likes to read by sliding something down the page (raising my hand), they’re the perfect width for most paperbacks. (VA being my favorite airline, I’m obviously biased. (: )
Priorities
Google searches on the drive to, time in, and drive from Key West today:
- Florida traffic
- Florida keys (why “keys”: corruption of Spanish “cayo” -small island)
- restaurants in Key Largo
- 30 Rock quotes Kenneth “oh no when I get upset”
- how many $50 bills in 1lb (about 454… $22,700)
From there to here.

Out to Austin today for an abbreviated SXSW (back Sunday). Flying a previously untested (by me) airline (Frontier). So far they’ve cancelled the first leg of today’s trip, got me on another flight for the first leg, and prevented me from checking in online for the second leg.
This is going to rock!
In-flight entertainment.
