Michael Benson's Amazing Planetary Images

My buddy John Gorman told me about Michael Benson and his amazing work, which was done in cooperation with NASA, and I had to post it here, it's so impressive.  You can also learn more about Benson's exhibition, titled Beyond: Visions of Planetary Landscapes.  Rumor is that if you have some disposable income, you can pick up a few large, limited prints... I was afraid to ask what they cost!

Virgin's T2 SFO Takeover: A Fail, For Now

Virgin America is running a forward-thinking social media campaign at San Francisco International Airport's new Terminal 2 that just opened yesterday using Facebook and Foursquare checkins.  The idea is great -- as you check in at various Virgin locations, you get badges, from "ground crew" for a few checkins, up to "captain" for the max number of checkins.

I tried it out when I flew into T2 on Virgin yesterday, and had high hopes.  Unfortunately, it's a fail, for now, because it doesn't work.  My guess is that the GPS simply isn't good enough indoors yet.  Kudos to Virgin for trying something new -- now technology just has to catch up to the marketer's ambitions.

Here's a video of me trying the Virgin T2 Takeover social media campaign:
