Notes on the New Editor's Picks

Hi, folks. Happy Friday.

This week's Editor's Picks are live up on the Journals main page. The theme is Travel, and as I noted in my post to the Journals message board, we're looking at a few different aspects of travel and traveling.

A few thoughts:

• There are a good number of blogs out there by folks who are living abroad, teaching English to students. Maybe a future theme in and of itself.


• Special kudos to Jack & Sherry, keepers of the Ship's Log blog. They're hiking a section of the Appalachian Trail, updating their blog using IM updates from an old laptop.


• Also, there are two Journals that I would like to give honorable mentions, since they were built specifically for events that are, alas, over: Myrtle Beach Bike Week 2005, chronicling a road trip from Delaware to South Carolina, and Ric's Alcan Journal, a diary of a three-month journey from Annapolis, MD to Anchorage, AK and back.

That's it for now; have a good weekend everybody. -- Joe
