Just found a site called Polo’s Bastards, which has stories and information about third world country travel and politics. The travel stories are excellent, like the two writeups (part 1 & part 2) of a three part story called “Into Iraq – A Traveler’s Journal”. The journal is a good read, even if it is just a personal journal. This reminds me of Oxford Man in Afghanistan which is also a good read, complete with photos.
Some really nice aerial photos here.
And while I’m at it, this guy is seriously a geek. Wow. Amazing the kind of modding he comes up with. Interesting read if you are a geek. Shower-time video conferencing, booting off an ipod, a cigarrette lighter in your pc and solar charging mobile devices are just some of the craziness.
