Blog Mailing List

Posted January 01 2020

If you'd like to get e-mail updates whenever I make a travel-related post, you can subscribe to the e-mail list. You'll get an e-mail whenever I add a post, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Since I just got the site up and running, I have something of a backlog of posts. That means updates are going to be a bit more frequent than usual; I'll be posting entries about Israel, which I visited first, interspersed with the UK, where I am now, and in no particular order. If you'd prefer not to get spammed, it might be a better idea to wait a couple of weeks for me to catch up and subscribe then.

UK Highs and Lows

Posted May 17 2017

It feels a little odd to be reflecting on my time in the United Kingdom without actually having posted much of anything about it yet, but in the interest of not falling farther behind and because I have time here at the airport, let's talk about my highs and lows of my time in the UK, as well as what I thought of the place overall.

Blog Finally Up

Posted April 25 2017

You should (hopefully) be able to read this now, which means I've finally gotten my blog up and running! There isn't exactly a lot of content; the only entry uses pictures I took before I left and the text was written while I was waiting for my delayed first flight at JFK. Now that I've finally gotten the actual code working, I'm going to start adding posts covering where I've been already as well as where I am now until I've caught up a bit.

The site is still obviously unfinished, lacking some rather important features (like comments). Ultimately a lot of time and headache would have been saved if I'd just set up a bog-standard Wordpress install instead of deciding to write a blog from scratch, and while I wouldn't have some of my most coveted custom features I would have some other fairly useful ones (...like comments). That ship has long sailed, though, so this is where we are.

Anyhow, that's all for tonight since I've just confirmed that things seem to be working okay and it's ridiculously late. Onwards to content!
