Blogging again...Does Travel inhibit blogging?

I believe in blogging and the power of Citizen Journalism. Heck, I worked my tail off (and burned through a few karma points) at one time to help make sure blogs.sun.com happened at Sun. I did the same when I first arrived at Intel, and since IMHO Intel is somewhat "PR Challenged" its probably news to most of you that they did launch an IT-focused blogspace a few months ago. I was invited to blog on it...but frankly was in a blogging slump at the time. Oh, I started a few posts, but never actually published them because they just didn't seem all that interesting. And the interesting stuff I wasn't supposed to blog about.

For the past few weeks I've had a chest cold that just wouldn't go away. Maybe I picked up a designer bug somewhere in the world? I don't know. I do know that I've been 'grounded' (as in not flying at all) since Labor Day...and now I'm blogging again! To tell the truth I started bloggign so my family would be able to track where I was in the world. Now I use Flickr for that (one great picture being worth a thousand blogs). But just in the past week I find I really want to communicate via blog again. Will it last once I'm up and traveling again? Guess we'll just have to see.

It would be nice if you could make your archives widget to lets us go across months.. Right now I'm able to see only the blogs for this month.

Traveling is great: new places, new people, new traditions. But nowadays it is getting difficult to travel because of the safety measures. Everyone needs to pass a clearance check before getting visa. I’ve heard that the British Embassy requires scanned before issuing visas ( http://www.huliq.com/288/printed-for-travel-uk-introduces-finger-scan-for-visa-applicantsfingerprints ). This is good for the security, but I bet this will make difficulties for travelers.

Thank you for that article at HULIQ, it's very interesting. I think we need to make less restrictions for people to communicate, but that raises another question how to fight terror?
