Mercedes 6×6 in the UAE…

Mercedes created an incredible 6×6 beast based on their Geländewagen (G-wagon) platform. A joy to behold… and Top Gear’s Richard Hammond proves it a joy to drive as well. Bonus that it was filmed here in the UAE.

So you have a network of taxis and buses running around your city and you make them all unique WiFi access points. Pretty slick. Step it up a notch though and you have an innovative way to track the status of various components of your city’s infrastructure. Outstanding!

Flying back in the a day

Overview of international air travel across the British Empire during the 1930’s. The old planes are cool looking… Crazy to think the cabins weren’t pressurized and people had to deal with altitude sickness.

Abu Dhabi’s New Midfield Terminal

My current airport, Abu Dhabi International, is building a new Midfield Terminal. The National has some nice renderings for a glimpse at what it should look like in 2017. My role is actually on the existing airfield, refurbishing a runway and some taxiways as well as building new aprons.
