Today, I had the chance to compare notes about blogging with Joshua Landis and Juan Cole. Why do I feel that we bloggers spend more time on blogging than we care to admit? I miss my (Arabic) media resources when I travel. I mean, I do get Future TV, Aljazeera through jump tv, and AlArabiya is now free on the internet, but there are more. And I don't have time when I travel to consume the 7 Arabic newspapers, and the other Western newspapers, etc. But I will get the slingbox: that will permit me to have access to the Dish Network offerings at home, from any remote location.
