While I Twittered it last week, I wanted to point out another blog I started up recently: DrunkAndRetired.com Travel. I travel quite a lot (well, relative to my programmer life) and, as a systems type thinker, I’ve had fun walking around the loyalty programs, particularly, American Airlines’ AAdvantage program.
So, as with most things that I spend too much time doing, I started a blog for it to “write-out” my insomnia and boredom, if you will.
I’m by no means an expert on frequent travel “hacks,” so I welcome and relish all input. The funny thing is, even with having the blog out just over a week, I’ve gotten a lot of input from people already. There’ve been several comments already, and plenty of real-world bleed over: I had a fun talk with Gregg Sporar at the Lonestar Ruby Conference about optimizing AUS->SFO/SJC travel.
On the more general note of blogs, a nice effect of narrowly targeted blogs is that they’re easy conversation starters in meat-space. If the last week or so is any indication, I’ve got another easy & fun small-talk topic on my hands ;>
