Flight Info To Come

Alright everyone,We're booked. I got the first room of four off and the room of two bookedwith no problems. However, when I was booking the third, (2nd room of 4)the price went up due to gas. So you all know I am not B.S.ing you to tryto pocket more money I will forward you the confirmation showing the priceof 340 per person. I went ahead and did it because everyone left...So, Ithink it would be fair if everyone could make a check out for 300 even,and I will bight the rest.If you would be so kind as to bring a check for 300 to class on Mondaymade out to:Phillips G. Smith with the memo of Group Flight, it would make me happy.Yes, there is an S at the end of my pap's name.Have a great Wednesday night!!

Dry-In House - New Orleans

I will be away on Friday in New Orleans. With Doug Hecker and a group of Clemson students, we are building the first Dry-In House prototype. This weekend we are going to meet the community and establish the site and family that we will be working with. Here is a link to a recent Fox News feature about what we are doing there.

"The Rise of the Aerotropolis"

I found this article on The Next American City, while browsing: It discusses an airport in Amsterdam and could be a springboard for a discussion of how far this concept of Aerotropolis could go.

airports use eye photo technology to identify travelers


A mapping of an individual's genetic code via eye photography could reduce the wait time at security in terminals. In a few seconds a video camera using a 30 frames per second zooms into the eye captures the individual iris and stores it digitally.

a 24 hour map of all flights in the United States

This is an "airspace map" - a time based mapping of a day's airtraffic - a sort of antfarm view of the United States's airplanes movements and trajectories. It is fascinating to watch over time the rhythms and density of activity formed in this dynamic drawing.

I would like to say congratulations on the amount of non-letters we put in the title!
