The TSA scanner had to reboot first before it scanned. The pass doesn’t have your luggage tags and it doesn’t identify class of service. All were courteous and anxious to try it when I came through and the <a href="https://www.flyasqx.com/gs?stk=home&msestks=alaskaair.xml">Alaska Airlines Mobile Website</a> for it was super easy to use.<br />
<br />
Note the server that generates the pass will time it out. Best to screenshot the pass for later use.</p>

<p>I’ve been writing about the <a href="http://texturadesign.com/blog/2008/10/taipei_halloween_parade_hello.htm">Taipei mix</a> and that was in effect at the <a href="http://texturadesign.com/blog/2008/10/intel_developer_forum_taiwan_b.htm">Taipei Blogger Party</a>. Attendees included a local celebrity, conductor, bike maker, teachers, students, photogs, authors, and us. We talked blogs, social media, politics, and checked out Intel-powered MIDs prototypes that Pankaj Kedia, Director Global Ecosystems Programs, brought. We also gave out scwhag from <a href="http://www.crumplerbags.com/">Crumpler</a>, <a href="http://www.versus.com/">Versus</a>, and <a href="http://sxsw.com/">SXSW.</a></p>
