Ze Frank, Kid Beyond, Shira Lazar, and World Puzzle Champ Wei-Hwa Huang joined Boing Boing's Rob and Xeni for in-flight networked Google gaming aboard wifi-equipped Virgin America flights. "Day in the Cloud," a mile-high frag-a-thon aboard two dueling Virgin America planes both eqipped with in-flight wifi. During the one-hour flights, bloggers and game dorks played games that required internet connections, to compete for netbooks and pure ultimate leetness over their foes. Competing on the plane from Los Angeles to San Francisco (named "youtube Air"): me (Xeni), Rob Beschizza from Boing Boing Gadgets, legendary internet hilarity farmer Ze Frank, web personality Shira Lazar, and Wei-Hwa Huang, former Googler and world puzzle champion. On the plane from San Francisco to Los Angeles (named "Superfly"): Kid Beyond, singer, beatboxer, and game nerd. Lessons learned: Google makes it easier to cheat. Absinthe makes it harder to win. wifi makes flying less boring. Kid Beyond and Ze Frank are very funny. Wei-Hwa Huang is the guy you want on your team in a puzzle competition. And finally, Rob and I should stick to blogging/vlogging, and forget about competitive puzzle-solving. More Boing Boing Video: boingboingvideo.com
