Changing Places

I can no longer justify paying 250 Euros + a year for a blog I don’t write on anymore.

This website will be archived at http://surprisinghorizons0.wordpress.com

It’s been a blast but I never hit the blogging stride I wanted to hit and as the world got more into 5 second soundbites, my blog got more and more left behind.

Cheers to the good old days when writing was an art form.

informative, entertaining, and highly interesting story of how Airplane! came to be. Better than Famous Jewish Sports Legends.

A meandering, pondering collection of scientific concepts wrapped up in what could be an amazing science fiction storyline. Disappointing.
