• The general consensus among people these days is airlines and airports suck. The big question is which ones suck the most? The Telegraph UK reports on the the worst airport delays in Europe, and the New York Times published an interesting graphic on the most delayed flights in the US.
• More and more backpackers are carrying their laptops with them these day, I know I do. However, carrying a laptop with you on the road can be somewhat stressful as you are constantly concerned with your machine breaking or getting stolen. Kevin Allgood has written a helpful post for Brave New Traveler on How to Pick the Perfect Laptop for Travel.
• Biofuels are getting more and more attention these days as we search for alternative energy sources. The technology has been picked up by several big businesses who are literally pouring money into it to transform it into a viable alternative energy option. As a result, political entities like the EU have also become more involved. Personally, I think the technology has a bright and clean future, but there are still a number of bugs to work out. Check out Worldchanging’s post entitled Nothing Simple, Not Even Biofuels for more information on the technology and the obstacles it must overcome.
