The last 2 weeks have been very rough for me in term of updating the website. I’ve been on a ship with limited Internet access and then I’ve been on a trip in Switzerland which has left me no free time for work. (I’ve learned my lesson and will not be doing trips this hectic again).
I hope to be back to a more regular schedule in a few days. Until then, here are some belated links from around the internet:
- Secret Desert Force Set Up by Blackwater’s Founder NYT
- Mining to blame for islands to sink beneath waves BBC
- Email Typo Spells Romance For RP Salazars NPR
- Vintage Photographs of Moscow From 1909 Flickr
- Library of Congress makes thousands of vintage recordings available online WQXR
- VIDEO: A praire 8m underwater
- Europe moves to end passport-free travel Guardian
- Gold Mania in the Yukon NYT
- The Case for Skipping School Nat Geo Traveler
- VIDEO: Travel Photographer of the Year Contest BBC


Had that problem ourselves sometimes. Tried to blog from a cruise a few months ago… pretty difficult, not to mention expensive to get decent internet.
