(BLOG weB-LOG) A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is ``blogging`` and someone who keeps a blog is a ``blogger.`` Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog. Here are some of the things being written about IFE using this medium.

Airbus A330 ``Entertainment`` System

I just traveled to and from Germany on an Airbus A330. The airplane itself was roomy enough, except if you find yourself in a window seat towards the rear the curve of the fuselage wall annoyingly invades your personal space if you are over 5 feet tall.

In any case, I wanted to weigh in on the A330 personal entertainment system. Aside from the coolness factor of having a personal screen and being able to watch the animated airplane crawl across the blue and green map, it was not very entertaining at all. Sure, there are on-demand movies you can pause. But the movie selection was horrendous King Arthur was the best choice, and after that I suffered through an Alec Baldwin comedy. For 16 hours of flight time, one passable move takes away the all of the advantages of an on-demand system. I was glad I brought a book.

The music was the same story cool to be able to choose which song you wanted to hear, but listening to the same three songs that you like gets old rather quickly.

There were some games to play, like solitaire and bejeweled. I didnt play them much, just checked them out for explorations sake. The best feature of the whole system was a multi-person trivia game in which you answered timed trivia questions against other passengers.

This blog heralds the advances of Air-Wi-Fi and proclaims the beauty of airborne broadband. It is clear to me that the advantages of an endless internet rather than a rag-tag collection of cutting room scraps clearly outweigh the costs of implementation. It will improve the efficiency of an airborne businessman as well as entertain the jittery children.
