There are a few people in this world that I just have to admire. It has nothing to do with their fame or loads of gold coins they hoard in their mansions (although that’s pretty cool too.)
It’s the fact that they had an idea – even a crazy one and ran with it; followed through and got it out to the masses.
There is one gentleman who you’ve probably heard of. If not, here’s a review on what this guy is up to.
Mark Malkoff
What he is doing:
Mark is currently spending 30 days on an AirTran plane to finally conquer his fear of flying. That will certainly accomplish it but most likely will be replaced by a fear of flight attendant uniforms and overhead speaker announcements. Well, at least it’s new material.
Here’s a link to Mark’s Flickr page. You can view the many pictures of his AirTran journey there. Here’s a few to satisfy your curiosity until then:
Mark on AirTran: the site. (There are great videos here of his flight experience and celebrity run ins.)

Some of Mark’s AirTran Tweets: You can follow Mark on Twitter here.
@MMalkoff: If they make a movie based on me living on a plane which actor should they go with? My pick is either Dick Van Patten or Verne Troyer.
@MMalkoff: For those of you who haven’t seen my Fresca bath (video to come), here are some photos. http://tinyurl.com/l9y7nd
@MMalkoff: My camera person just told me on a red-eye two nights ago I said outloud as I was sleeping, “How are you…babywipes.” I’m losing my mind.
What he has done:
If the name sounds familiar, you may of heard of his jaunt all around Manahattan to visit and purchase goods from every Starbucks.
Catch: There’s 171 of them and he has to do it in 24 hours. Check out the video of the entire journey below.
He also moved into Ikea for 30 days. I haven’t finished watching all of the videos on YouTube but they are fairly freakin’ hilarious. Which makes perfect sense seeing as how Mark’s background is in comedy.

Why do you think Mark rock’s the casbah?
Would you travel on a plane for 30 days?
