Remembering Aleppo: I wrote this piece about Aleppo, Syria, exactly two years ago. I later included it in The Nine Horizons: Travels in Sundry Places, which was published a year later. But it was originally intended as a blog post. I lived for years kin Aleppo and wanted to tell people that it was not an anonymous flashpoint on the evening news, but one of the most ancient and extraordinary places on earth. I'm glad I didn't know that, two years on, things in Aleppo (and Syria in general) would be even worse.

Amazon's elegant widget
"Delighted that Amazon has finally devised an efficient widget for sending long blog posts to Kindle. I've just been testing it on my own blog and it works really well, both for Kindle Paperwhite and for the Kindle app on my tablet. I've now put it on all the longer posts, including this piece of nostalgia about Syria. Would be interested if someone could see how well it works on the Kindle app for iPad.
