Writing from 36,000 feet

 

Virgin America

I’m writing this post from 36,000 feet in the air, on my way to San Francisco. I’ll be there for the next two weeks, going through orientation at Adobe and starting my first project. I’m flying Virgin America for the first time and ecstatic that it has in-flight internet. It comes at $12 fee, but anyone who has been on 5+ hour flights knows it’s well worth it.

The Virgin America plane has this club feeling to it, with purple plexi separating first class from coach and pink lights running down the sides of the ceiling. When I arrived at ticketing, there was no line and the ticketers were dancing to Beyoncé—they even asked me to dance! At takeoff, my laptop needed to be stowed above the seats, so one of the attendants took it from me, but handed it back to me as soon as we were level.

Flight Tracker

This is also the first time I’m using the Flight Tracker widget. It reminds me of Continental International’s tracker in the headset—that thing is addicting! I just love technologies like this—they continue to amaze me. I’ll be getting my iPhone this week where I’ll be sure to use those wild augmented reality apps.

  1. Cool! I should fly Virgin someday…

  2. Great post! Love the original content and I think Destroy Twitter is the best Twitter desktop app. Keep up the great work Jonnie.

  3. Please let us know what‘s your first day in Adobe if you like.

  4. Curious to hear what Twitter app you decide on when you get your iPhone. Personally loving the in-depth features of Twittelator Pro but it lacks the slickness of DT – iPhone app plz?
