Rumor has it that Dubai Airport is installing 50-70 ‘Sleep Boxes’. Sleep Boxes are small cubicle spaces that are available at public places like Airports, train stations etc where people can book the ‘box’ for set time period to catch some sleep. It offers a small resting space while you wait for that connection in few hours. Ofcourse it doesnt come with attached washroom…you can use a public one for that. The concept is not new as Japan already has Capsule Hotels that serve the same purpose. The only difference is that Sleep Boxes are bigger in size and give space to sit and sleep.
Try out this site. Its a primative 3d game, where the objective is to plan a city. Dont expect any fancy 3d graphics, its just basic. Its really silly, but its also kind of neat.
I've been bytching for awhile about the state of the SLIA web site. Today, quite accidently I found this web site, The Architect. The funny thing is that it has been around since March 2008!
The site is very nicely laid out and filled with loads of USEFULL information (*hint* *hint*, slia.lk)
