Brendan Ross is insane, or at least, I’m betting he will be at the end of this month. He had a month or so to kill, so he got Wired to buy him a JetBlue unlimited travel pass, and has submitted to the following challenge: live for a month either in the air or in an airport. He’s blogging his journeys at Autopia–his most recent is titled “Terminal Man Finally Gets a Shower–and he’s tweeting as well. I’m following him, hoping to watch his descent into madness in real time. Thirty days of catnaps, airport food, cramped toilets and a lack of any truly private space would send me round the bend, no doubt. Let’s see if Ross can hack it.
