Sky Blogging

The Moon and the Mountain

Originally uploaded by mollyeh11.

Today I’m going to be blogging from the sky! It’s the Blogging the Stratosphere event, in which a group of journalists including some high-profile bloggers, newspaper writers (Wall Street Journal, Associated Press and Seattle Times), magazine and media reps (Macworld, Microsoft), radio personalities and podcasters get on a private jet from Boeing and have fun while blogging, podcasting and Flickr’ing from the sky.

Folks joining in on the fun include: Steve Broback, Buzz Bruggeman, DL Byron, Bryan Corliss, Kevin Ebi, Dominic Gates, Brian Gregory, Cathy Lu, Larry Hryb, Chris Pirillo, Eric Rice, Robert Scoble, Bob Sullivan, and Nick Wingfield and of course,yours truly.

Our flight takes us over Mt. Rainier, shown here in a photo I took last night as the moon rose over Seattle. We’ll then be whisked away to a winery for dinner, and then back up for more sky blogging.

I’ve set up a special AIM name so molly.com readers can IM with me while I’m in flight. The name is skyblogger1 and the flight schedule is available (Pacific Time) so you can check in and say hello. I’ll be blogging the experience here, and posting photos to Flickr as well.

Hope to chat with you from above the clouds!

   As cool as this sounds…I find myself asking one question: “Why?”
   Then I thought, ‘Nah – I must be missing something right?’…there’s a reason for it all: charity, sponsering a good cause, ‘Boeing i-Pod of the week Promo’ perhaps? But no – none of these things…so…again Molly…”Why?”

   (It does sound like a great thing to do though!)

   A Real Wireless Connection

   Thanks to everybody for making today’s Wi-Fi flight (Wi-Flight?) possible; the Blog Business Summit, Boeing, and the Reininger Winery. I’ve never been on a better flight – never had so much fun on a plane. Could be that I was surrounded by friends, c…

   It’s the World Wide Web, you know?

   But it’s not just in the air: Vancouver’s Teekay Shipping, the world’s largest independent oil tanker company, will be the first to deploy the same service to its fleet of ships, which will make things a whole lot easier for Navarik, my employer. Ri…
