Delta Passengers: Use Your Cell As a Boarding Pass at LaGuardia Airport!
Ever since I first heard about a man using his BlackBerry to check into a flight - he was running late and didn't have his boarding pass - I've been wondering if this was just a one-off instance, or if it was going to become a growing trend. According to RCR News, Delta Air Lines is now allowing passengers at LaGuardia Airport in NY to use their cell phone as a boarding pass. Domestic customers can now download their boarding passes to their phones via Delta's website and go directly through security rather than visiting check in (if you don't have bags to check).
News Flash: Boarding Passes As Billboards
Now that we can briskly check into flights online, airlines are capitalizing by selling ad space on our boarding passes. Several major airlines have signed onto the plan and hope proceeds will help counteract the cost of fuel.

JetBlue All-You-Can-Fly Passes Sold Out Early
You snooze, you lose. JetBlue's all-you-can-fly pass had its share of haters who questioned its value, but there were more than enough enthusiasts that were gung-ho for the deal. The special passes sold out before the promotion was scheduled to expire, and a JetBlue spokeswoman said, "We wanted to ensure those who bought the pass could get the flights they want, so we capped the number of passes we would sell."
Roundup: Trestle Tables
A trestle table is the oldest type of American table, and is described in mid-17th-century inventories as a "table board and frame." Often a trestle table is made from a narrow, long plank resting on two or more oak trestles, held in place by a brace that passes through the trestles and pegged in place. This trestle table, in Canadian House and Home designer Emily Walker's home, looks absolutely gorgeous in this dining room.
State of Maine Gives MacBooks to Every Public School Student
How times have changed since I was in high school, when the only thing you got for free was a dented locker: The state of Maine has agreed to provide Apple MacBooks to every public school student, grades 7 through 12.
The Maine Department of Education has already ordered over 64,000 laptops for students and staff, to make Maine the first and only US state to ensure that every public school kid in middle and high school has a laptop to work on. The students are allowed to use the computers at school and take them home, but they have to return them at the end of the school year to pass to the next classes.
