Airport is a short film about a guy who goes on a plane journey, checks into a hotel and comes home -- but the wonderful gimmick is that the entire film consists of animated airport infographics of little ped-people interacting with each other and with ped-style illustrations of taxis, water-fountains and planes. It's utterly charming. Link (Thanks, Iain!)

Update: Martin sez, "budding animators may be interested in the full collection of 50 standard symbols available free of charge in .gif and .eps format at AIGA."

Update 2: Chris sez, Here is a link to the full set of symbols in both .eps and .gif format for Windows users like myself.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
