Daily Traveler Bows Out

April 17, 2006 at 4:28 PM | by | Comment (1)



Too bad, but it looks like LA Times blog The Daily Traveler will be shuffling off this mortal coil after but a brief six months of existence. It was a enjoyable site, finding good industry stories and presenting them in a not-too-geeky way (shh! We know what we are), but according to them, the numbers of the site were not enough to stay open.

The blog may soldier on, unaffiliated with the L.A. Times, but much remains unclear. Connecting Flights and Enplaned both flamed out pretty fast, too, so you never know with those darn travel blogs. We think their mistake was not enough stories about Natalie Portman and South Park, but that's just us.

Pivo a Go-Go

Sorry, but we're about to get all pan-Slavic on your ass. That's right, this week, we're pimping daily blog Slavs of New York! We're Czech, or at least this third of us is.

In addition to being an invaluable resource for Slavic happenings around the city, never again will you have to hear "Bohuzel..."; that's Czech for, "I'm sorry, you're screwed and I have no intention of fixing your problem". Amazing what they can fit into one tiny word, no?

Today they even found a site that rates Russian baths in the city. We'll eat any manner of pickled vegetables, but we remain unconvinced about those baths. Of course, our Mom warned us about hot tubs as a kid, so don't let us spoil your fun.
