Infinite Legroom, Travel Tastefully...Travel Tips and Stories From a DJ

Infinite Legroom is a website created by DJ A-Trak. As a DJ he's constantly on the road, flying from one city to another around the world each week. As a frequent flyer, he has decided to take his adventures and turn them into fun, notable tips and entertaining reads for all of us. This is by far one of my favorite new sites to check regularly.

It's a great spin to the traditional online travel mag. The content is extremely entertaining, usefull, and delightfully unexpected from a DJ. It makes you want to hop on a flight and jet out.

P.S.

If you haven't seen A-Trak play, perhaps you should see where he's off to next and hop aboard. It's worth it! 

4DX - The Ultimate Movie Experience

Again, this comes from my cousin who currently live in Seoul Korea and her great Facebook posts. Already a norm in Korea are 4DX movie theaters. Her post reads:

"Went to see "Taken 2" at 4D theater. Do you know what is 4D theater? Its fun like riding some attraction while you watch the movie. The seat moves left, right, front and back according to the scene. The air comes out from all dimension. The water splashes from front seat. It was so fun. And I heard this kind of theater is only available in Korea at the moment. Don't know if they have this in the states."

So I did some digging around to see when we will get this...and not just at Disneyland on some ride. And to my amazement, we are headed for 4DX thanks to a Korean company called CJ Group. "The next wave of movie theater experiences contains actual smells, mists and vibrations. South Korean’s CJ Group is planning to bring 4D movies into North American theaters, giving audiences more than 1,000 sensations as they watch the big screen." They are hoping to outfit 200 movie theaters within the next 4 years. 

Forget 3D, forget IMAX, this is full action, multi-sensorial immersion into the movie. Only problem I have is how to hang on to the popcorn! And I bet this will hit home theaters soon too...oh how the movie and television experience is forever changed.

For a glimpse of what is to come, check out 4DX, here they tell you about all the movements, effects, and what films are currently playing overseas at their theaters with 4DX. Incredible!
