Oh, what a (wonderfully) tangled web we weave

Well, well, it's been awhile, huh? Well, you need to know that we (Mr. Makarma) haven't spent our time sitting around watching cable or knitting a new quilt......

Although we (Mr. Makarma) are sorely lacking in spare time, we're currently in various stages of developing two new websites. One will make its appearance later this year, while the other won't show up until the first quarter of 2011.

First up will be a fun little website that's going to highlight the origins and history of fast food in the car culture of Southern California. What does this have do with travel, you may ask? Almost nothing, our dear friends, almost nothing. But, it's gonna be a lot of fun, and we'll all probably learn a thing or two about our favorite burger or taco joint. We'll have a bulletin board as part of the site, so you'll all have the opportunity to share a story or three. Who will the website appeal to? Only to those of you who have ever enjoyed a fast food meal.

We want that website to be up-and-running soon, so the initial look and navigation will be similar to that of the primary Makarma Travel website. This will be its "preview" mode, with a more extensive Web 2.0 site coming along as interest increases.

We'll announce the start-up of the fast food website on this Blog, and both that site and the primary site will, of course, link to one another.

Mid-2010 will find a complete upgrade to the Makarma Travel site. We'll freshen up the overall look, and change the navigation style. All this in preparation for......

Our Web 3.0 (has that even been announced yet?) cruise travel website that's about 18 months away. Unfortunately, we can't share too many details of it right now, but it'll be something that's not currently found anywhere online. Using the word "interactive" will not do justice to any description of this new site. To say the least, it will quite possibly change the way cruises are booked.

We're very excited about all three of these projects, but downright giddy about the third. We're not even sure all the technologies we're looking for are available yet, but we'll try to find a way to make this all happen between now and then. Stay tuned, O.K.?
