Default Blogs about soaring and aviation

Blogs (web logs) are a rather new type of web site where the author
periodically adds new articles about current events or simply his thoughts
about a subject. As with RAS and other forums, helpful comments and
additions are welcomed. Unlike on RAS, rants are not so welcome. :-)

I have found just a few blogs on the subject of soaring and aviation in
general. Here are three I know of... if you know of others, please reply and
I'll keep adding to the list of links to blogs on my site.

My own blog about learning to soar is at
http://rogersoaring.blogspot.com/
Jeremy Zawodny writes about soaring and much more
http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog
MyFlightBlog: a power pilot's learning experiences
http://www.myflightblog.com/index.php

If anyone is interested in how to create a blog, I could post a few
pointers. It's pretty easy, and blog sites are available for free. One nice
feature some blogs offer is the ability to post articles automatically via
email (from authorized authors). This allows for dynamic updates, i.e.
"notes from the field" can be sent from a connected laptop, a wireless PDA
such as a Blackberry, or even text messages from a cell phone. This could be
extremely useful for contest results, weather condition reporting, etc.

Caution!

Imbedded in the message below my dotted line there
is the address for a blog for a power pilot's experiences
Inside that blog there is a comment about a Google
program for viewing airports as follows:

Google Earth - A Great Pre-Flight Tool

google_earth_meigs_thumb.jpgWhen was the last time
you flew to a new airport? In preparing for that flight
you obviously reviewed your flight with the use of
a sectional chart. You probably also reviewed information
about your destination airport in your FAA Airport/Facility
Directory. But, you still really don't know what to
expect upon when you began to arrive at the new airport.


Google has launched a beta product called Google Earth
which can be downloaded for free and can be a nice
aid to pilots. The program lets you fly around a 3D
globe, with overhead satellite photos, tilted 45-degree
photos, 3D rendered buildings, and overlays that display
everything from roads to hotels to bike routes. One
caution is that most of the images are several years
old so they may not be very accurate. But, since the
images are old I was able to see a satellite view of
Meigs field. Google Earth added in the buildings so
I could have visualized what it would be like to fly
into Meigs field.

I downloaded this program and it began installation.
It demanded to know the password for my email account.
I gave a false password and the program would not
continue.

DON'T GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD! I think this is bogus,
just like some of the false eBay and PayPal messages.

The support forum for GE has a couple of notes that may apply. The free
version of GE should not ask for a login and password. If you had previously
downloaded Keyhole (which is the engine behind GE), it will ask for your
email address and password. I know it did for me... and puzzled me for a
minute. I don't think it's validating against your email account. I think I
used a different password from my email account for Keyhole, and entered
that password when starting GE.

Does this fit your situation? Did you try Keyhole before?
