This Week In Links: Best of the Web
First, a few words about this blog. Friday, we had our 200th post ever. Which is kinda sad because this blog is over 5 years old, but its a nice milestone none the less, so congratulations to us. Since the first relaunch of this blog in May of last year, we've also welcomed over 1,000 page views - the magic number hit in the early part of January. So I hope that you are enjoying what you are reading, and please feel free to continue to do so.
In other news, crazy stuff happening with planes this past week. There was that British Airways 777 that lost power coming into Heathrow and kinda crash landed short of the runway, and then an Air Canada A319 that suffered some pretty severe turbulence. Turbulence Forecast blog has some interesting ideas about exactly what happened to the flight.
Also, less jarring avaiation news was to be had this week as well. Norwegian Air Shuttle will be offering cell phone service on their flights according to Jaunted. So, if I were you, I'd get ready for a whole host of "Guess where I'm calling from!!!" phone calls in the latter half of 2008.
One of my favorite travel writers in blogworld wonders about travel writing in newspapers, check out the thoughts from Knife Tricks.
Finally, I read this great blog post by Clearly Enlight, about travel and the battle between quality and quantity.
