I spent a lot of time researching a ‘hardened’ or ‘hard case’ for my Canon AH X1 video camera and the rest of the gear needed to produce Mobile Industry Review and Mobile Developer TV remotely from the likes of Barcelona. I eventually settled on a Peli Case. The model I chose was the Peli [...]
I’ve been reading a lot about the plans by British Airways to begin charging for those who’d like to select their seat. Here’s a BBC story on the subject: British Airways passengers will have to pay to choose their seats before they travel from October, the airline says. The charges will affect those seeking to [...]
I was standing waiting for my bag at the airport at Stuttgart when I noticed a witch hat on top of a green bag in the queue on the baggage conveyor. My attention was piqued. Who the hell would travel with a witch hat stuck to their green suitcase? Heh. I looked as the case [...]
This is absolute tip-top flipping genius! Look at this! Pony up $599 and you can fly anywhere you like on JetBlue’s network between September 8th and October 8th. And that’s it. No catches. You’ll need to pay the annoying taxes which, apart from flying to Puerto Rico, will set you back roughly $15ish plus a [...]
I arrived in at Heathrow yesterday and headed over to the official London taxi stand. I expected this last bit of my globe-trotting journey to be reasonably run-of-the-mill. There was an officious looking chap in a high visibility jacket holding some kind of electronic gizmo at the top of the queue. He asked me for [...]
I’m heading back to San Francisco on Monday. If you’d like to meet whilst I’m there — I’m particularly interested in profiling mobile developers for Mobile Developer TV, drop me a note! I’m ewan@mobiledeveloper.tv.
I made a decision a while ago to use British Airways as my carrier of choice. I applied for the Virgin Flying Club card — and I flew them to the CTIA Las Vegas show in March. I closely evaluated spending the extra thousand pounds on an Upper Class experience, but eventually decided I’d get [...]
I hopped on a British Airways flight from San Francisco at 430pm on Saturday and arrived in London at 11am on Sunday. It was a reasonably enjoyable experience arriving into Terminal five. There was a short walk to immigration and a short queue there too. Very strange. “What city have you come from?” the chap [...]
… You should wear some flowers in your hair. That’s what the song says, but I’m not going to. I don’t think my hair is ever long enough to support flowers. There’s a lot going on again. I’m now going through another excessively busy period after a relatively simple CTIA here in Las Vegas. Instead [...]
Rubbish but effective flyer marketing, originally uploaded by ew4n. Outside the Harrahs hotel there’s a massive line of guys (the ones wearing the big red tshirts) trying to foist flyers for prostitutes on everyone passing. Ridiculous. But it must work? – Taken at 1:12 AM on March 31, 2009 – iPhone upload by ShoZu
