I'm working on a bunch of differing things this week that will be rolled out in the coming days and weeks. We're also working on a new design for the blog I think you'll really like. I finished up the new header yesterday and added gave representation to all four members of the B.A.B.E.. It should be ready to roll before Farnborough, which is creeping up on us rapidly.

If I had to shake my magic 8-ball today and ask if the price of oil is going to dominate Farnborough, the answer would almost certainly be: "Signs point to yes"

I added a new widget to the blog that tells you the current painful price of crude oil. With fuel this high, I just hope there's an industry to cover in a year. (Uncomfortable laugh)
