The Chicago L should steal a page from the London Tube

Posted in Uncategorized by Patrick Berry on September 30, 2009

I was all excited to see new information displays being installed at my L stop. Huge high-res flat panels that you can actually see in daylight. The London Tube and the Washington DC Metro use old tech LED boards to give useful info on when the next train will approach. The Chicago message board tells me exactly how cold I’m feeling, fun CTA trivia, and how I can earn a 25% commission selling computer peripherals.

I don’t belive she really works there.

QR Codes in board games?

Whilst playing DVD Clue noticed that replacing these codes with something like iPhone-readable QR Codes would spice up the game. In this version you look for codes by viewing through a red lens.

80% of customers don’t want their receipt at my local Caribou.

The barista asked if I wanted my receipt this morning, so I thought I’d ask. His first guess was 90% do not want the receipt, but then went conservative with 80%. Interesting.

Reusable Protest Sign. Every U.S. lawmaker needs one of these.

They might want to tone it down a bit. No sense of making this personal.

In honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, I made a list of my favorite comic book pirates.

Counting down from five to one….

5. Pirate Batman.

I repeat: Pirate. Batman.
