Funny, I was reading the New York Times on the flight from Seattle to Las Vegas (I’m on my way to Philadelphia) and I see my friends DL Byron and Steve Broback are in it talking about blogging on the road.
I was just thinking that it’d be cool to have a Wikipedia style guide to airports. I’m sitting in Las Vegas’ airport right now. Free wifi!!! I love this place.
When I arrive at an airport, here’s what I want:
1) Where is the free wifi? If there isn’t free wifi, what else is available? Sometimes I find three different services and I have no clue which one is cheapest or which one has best bandwidth.
2) Where are the power outlets. I have gotten pretty adept at finding them, but would be great to know a map of outlets in the airport. Particularly good if near a Starbucks or other food outlets.
Any interesting things to see? Some airports have neat artwork, for instance. Others have nice architecture. While others have great views of the runways, but only at certain places.
It’d be great to have a Wiki where I could add to a community resource.
Oh, cruddy! I should have guessed that Wikipedia already has a Wiki page on each airport. Here’s the one for the airport I’m at (McCarran Las Vegas). You can search Google/Yahoo/MSN for your airport name and “wiki” and there probably is a page.
I’ll see if I can add anything onto these pages.
