Berlin-Brandenburg airport delayed...again.

The Berlin-Brandenburg airport is delayed again, but Air Wear shipments are running on-time. ;)

Excerpt from the NY Times:

The new airport, the Berlin-Brandenburg Willy Brandt Airport, was originally scheduled to open in 2011, then June 2012. The deadline was then pushed back to March, and then to October. It is to replace two older airports — Tegel in the west and Schönefeld in the east — which were strained beyond capacity as the reunified city established itself as a tourist destination. Last year about 25 million visitors passed through Berlin. The new airport is supposed to be able handle up to 27 million passengers a year.

The delays in the project — the latest caused by a faulty fire safety system — have dented Germany's shiny image as an efficient industrial powerhouse driven by superior technical know-how and have become the butt of jokes among Berlin residents.

Barcode inventor and inadvertent Air Wear contributor dies

Air Wear products include a bar code design theme.  I was saddened to learn that the co-founder of the barcode died this week.  Joseph Woodland was schooled in morse code, and had been trying to track product using that...until one day at the beach...

The inventors originally intended the bar code to be round.

The excerpt from the Wall St. Journal article on Mr. Woodland's passing is below.
(The NY Times also offers a nice write up on Mr. Woodland's death here.)



The only code Mr. Woodland knew was the Morse Code he had learned in the Boy Scouts, his daughter said. One day, he drew Morse dots and dashes as he sat on the beach and absent-mindedly left his fingers in the sand where they traced a series of parallel lines.

"It was a moment of inspiration. He said, 'instead of dots and dashes I can have thick and thin bars,' " Susan Woodland said.
