12:47:44 PM Mike Migurski: wow
12:47:46 PM Mike Migurski: what is that? 
12:48:08 PM Mike Migurski: public display? 
12:48:30 PM Aaron Straup Cope: yeah
12:49:14 PM Mike Migurski: awesome
12:49:22 PM Mike Migurski: I love the height-thingies
12:49:34 PM Mike Migurski: it's accelerated - is it on a loop of some sort? 
12:49:44 PM Aaron Straup Cope: it seemed like it
12:49:52 PM Aaron Straup Cope: it was in a separate room
12:50:00 PM Aaron Straup Cope: with a big plate-glass window
12:50:07 PM Aaron Straup Cope: but everyone had gone home 
12:50:18 PM Aaron Straup Cope: so I guess it was like a log fire for airports
12:51:54 PM Mike Migurski: was it there for you? or for them?
12:52:23 PM Aaron Straup Cope: both, I think
12:52:35 PM Aaron Straup Cope: it looks like someone sits in there and pays
            attention
12:52:44 PM Aaron Straup Cope: it wasn't clear
12:53:13 PM Aaron Straup Cope: it was in the joint between terminal 1 (not intl)
            and the old abandoned terminal 2
12:53:16 PM Mike Migurski: do little wooden balls fall down a chute each time a plane lands
12:54:16 PM Aaron Straup Cope: it would be awesome if they used the lobby in terminal 2 to
            do a semi-realtime animatronic visualization of flight traffic
12:54:31 PM Mike Migurski: planes on strings
12:54:46 PM Mike Migurski: recorded sounds of children making jet noises
12:54:46 PM Aaron Straup Cope: that's what they look like when you drive down the 101
12:55:40 PM Aaron Straup Cope: "children making jet noises"  -- that would be a good name
            for an autobiography
12:56:17 PM Mike Migurski: or a first album
12:56:59 PM Aaron Straup Cope: or a conference
12:57:16 PM Aaron Straup Cope: we should organize that
12:57:19 PM Mike Migurski: UNconference
12:57:23 PM Aaron Straup Cope: JETconference
