Atlanta calling: second disney and on flight trivia
Just arrived at the house of Arun, a colleague in Atlanta. I wanted to share two experiences from my trip from Atlanta to here.
1- On the Disney Magic Express they magic your brain all the way to the airport. One of the commercials on the bus showed a kind of virtual online world of Disney: Virtual Magic Kingdom. I'm not going to check it out but is seems a kind of Second Life experience for the major theme park in Orlando, an online version of the Magic Kingdom. So now you can go visit Disney World from your home.
2- On my Delta airlines flight I enjoyed the personal screen in front of me with free games. One of the games was in-flight trivia. The quiz shows 20 questions. First you get the multiple choice question, then the correct answer and some extra info 'in case you are interested', then you see how everyone else in the plane that is playing answered and your score. What a fun way to do trivia together on a plane! Maybe I should build something similar when there are enough questions in the about2findout.com database. BTW, I came in first for my second game, in spite of the sports questions :-)
