Stonehenge for Visitors and Armchair Travelers

Last updated on: October 2, 2013 at 12:32 am By Sterling

Davies book A Year at Stonehenge is set to come out on November 1 and Stonehenge itself is getting a new visitor center on December 18.

The book’s publisher sent me a review copy, and when I... Read more

Last updated on: September 24, 2013 at 12:56 pm By Sterling

I’ve been away for a couple of weeks, working extra hard at my “day job”. In the moments I’ve pulled away from the computer, stopped coding or coordinating code projects, I’ve found myself thinking a lot about the nature of Cyberspace.

I almost feel like I... Read more
