Red Rocket for the iPhone - Only as Good as the TTC is at Stayi. » iPhone meets Red Rocket • Spacing Toronto • understanding the. Five years ago when I was a resident at the Canadian Film Centre’s Media Lab we would brainstorm possible new media programs/applications/devices/things that we could create content for. Lots of ideas involved the city and, more importantly, locations in the city. We thought about how to deliver content and information to those locations — information that was specifically about that location.
The problem was our ideas were way ahead of the technological solutions at the time. Devices either did not exist with the capability we needed or the technology was far too expensive or clunky. Eventually we developed [murmur] there and it avoided the technological issues by simply getting the user (in this case, somebody who wants to hear a location specific story) to give us their location manually (by typing the location code into their mobile phone). Easy, cheap and low tech. Fast forward to 2008 and we have the iPhone (and similar GPS enabled devices). » Your walls can look like a subway platform • Spacing Toronto •
Toronto keeps producing interesting homages to our public transit heritage despite the TTC’s total lack of appreciation (or attention): Spacing’s subway buttons, the TTC font, the subway anagram map, historical type and tile tours, and now wall decals. Derek Watson has created a handful of designs that replicate the appearance of subway platforms (currently available: St. Clair, Queen’s Park, Wellesley, Union, Spadina, Pape, “Northbound-Southbound”, and “Next Station St. George”). Watson says all 69 stations will be available soon. Purchasing a design will run you anywhere from $25 to $40. Free-hotspot.com. MyTTC.

Our efforts resulted in the TTC soliciting a much more robust Request For Proposal (RFP) that addressed a number of our concerns. This online discussion became a focal point at the inaugural Transit Camp in the spring of 2007, and continued to be a hot topic at the recent Metronauts conference (Transit Camp’s latest incarnation). On Thursday, the media will get a sneak peak at the TTC’s new beta web site. Staff has been playing their cards close to their chest so we have no idea what to expect.

A mythical kingdom ruled by elves and Arctic energy, Iceland is where the past meets the future in an elemental symphony of wind, stone, fire and ice.
A Symphony of Elements Iceland is, literally, a country in the making – the natural elements work in harmony to power its veritable volcanic laboratory: geysers gush, mudpots gloop, Arctic gales swish along silent fjords, stone towers rise from the depths of an indigo sea, and glaciers grind their way through cracked lava fields and the merciless tundra. The sublime power of Icelandic nature turns the prosaic into the extraordinary.
A dip in the pool becomes a soothing soak in a geothermal lagoon, a casual stroll can transform into a trek across a glittering ice cap, and a quiet night of camping means front-row seats to either the aurora borealis’ curtains of fire, or the soft, pinkish hue of the midnight sun.

Open Parenthesis » Automated Import to Dopplr from TripIt. Published on Thursday, March 6 2008 I use both TripIt and Dopplr, as each is better at certain things than the other. In my ideal world, the act of forwarding a travel confirmation to TripIt, which establishes a trip, would also create the same trip in Dopplr, which my Dopplr badge, news feed on Facebook, Fire Eagle account, and lifestream would then share with the public, abstracting the details of flights and hotels and such.
(Not that I’m terribly worried one could discover them, but just to simplify as Dopplr does well, so that only those who actually want to connect need to get to the details). That possible crept a bit closer as Dopplr announced the ability to subscribe to your Google Calendar and learn your trips from it. For some time, Dopplr has been able to export trips to calendars; TripIt can also adds trips to a calendar, but does so in a much more precise fashion, actually adding the flight info and such.

FlightAware - Free Flight Tracker - IFR Flight Status, Tracking, How to beat Priceline | KOMO-TV - Seattle, Washington | News. SEATTLE - Priceline.com offers one of the most unique ways to buy travel. You name your price for airline tickets, hotel stays or car rentals and if Priceline accepts your bid, that's what you pay. Priceline decides which flight, hotel or car rental company you'll get, and that scares away a lot of people.
But there is a bidding method for hotels that almost guarantees you'll stay where you want without the fear of having to stay elsewhere. Customers who name their own price for a hotel room can save up to 50 percent off competitors like Expedia.com or Travelocity.com, if you believe Priceline's advertisements. In fact, I have saved even more than 50 percent on several of my winning bids. If you're a frequent user of Priceline like I am, you know there are bidding restrictions. You may still get a pretty good deal, but not the lowest rock-bottom price that Priceline has hidden in its computer system.
You can't simply increase your bid by $1 after each rejection. Step One: Do your homework. BiddingForTravel.com - Message Board - ezboard.com.
