I have recently being doing alot of research into airlines and travel related blogs, and via this have come across some of the most wonderful graphic design. I do feel that alot of this design is somehow taken for granted being that it is so intergrated into the commercial airline, but when it is taken away from this and given it’s own space it think you will agree that it is really rather wondeful, i have chosen only red and blue for this showcase.

It does make you wonder where the next generation of aircraft such as Virgin Galactic will take corporate aircraft design, and whether this beautiful slick and simply stlye will be replaced.

A 404 error page saved my life

Today a 404 error page almost killed my laptop, it did this by making me laugh so much that luke warm tea sprayed out of my nostrils all over my keyboard… I was still giggling as i mopped up the mess and after when making my self a fresh brew. I returned to my tiny workspace (bed) ready for a quest, a quest to make you spit tea from places you did not wish too, laugh like you have never laughed before and / or stare in awe and wonder at how creative a page that does not exisit can be

(I won’t say which one made me have the tea incident i will leave it up to you – “num 32″ – SHHHH)

This ipad is specifically designed for women

I think it’s great that Apple have considered this market and not simply targeted the new ipad at guys. This shows you how the new ipad for women works, the types of apps it has that are designed for ladies and explains how the ipad’s security firewall is set-up.

Foursquare, for those that don’t know, is a location service-based social network-come-game and has been tipped at being the Twitter of 2010.

It sends you updates of where your friends are and what their tips on a certain cafe, bar or activity is, for example; try the soya latte it’s out of this world, or ‘don’t eat here, the waitress has crabs.

It’s like the love child of Google Latitude, Qype, Facebook and Twitter and also manages to squeeze in a points game system too. For me it has got my lazy ass out of the house, by offering cute badges from Newbie up to Superstar,and points that make me feel warm inside.

It also makes me Mayor of pretty bizarre places such as ‘my workplace bathroom’, ‘West Worthing station’ and cooler places like ’9 bar’ in Hove. It also makes it really easy to cheat, as it’s brand new and the geo targeting isnt exactly working yet, so you could be sat on your loo in Stratford and be “checking-in” that you are sipping cocktails in Soggy Dollar Bar in the British Virgin Islands.

Due to this glitch, i believe that Foursquare can be used for evil and i thought i would share a first hand account of this so that no one else has to suffer. Mr Flufflebums who was an earlier adopter of the Foursquare application, wanted to share this with you his experience and hopes that is will help others avoid going down this path to evil. (Will add the downloaded version later, this version takes a few ticks to start, it’s worth waiting we think)
