Horizon

Last Post

Horizon is closing its doors. There were no hurled dishes or screaming matches involved; we just each got occupied with other things.

• Alan Allport graduates from Penn in August, and will probably be lecturing there throughout next year as well as preparing his dissertation for publication and looking for a permanent job. He's got a research-related blog called War Starts at Midnight.
• Alan Hogue started graduate school at San Francisco State about a year ago. He reports that he's studying the "interface" between semantics and syntax, in particular investigating English verb typology as it relates to the kinds of syntactic environments a given verb can appear in, and hopefully developing a better account of exactly how verb semantics (and ultimately sentence-level semantics) effects syntax.
• Martha Bridegam is working on a book about the long-term history and politics of the Tule Lake internment camp site. She's thinking of combining personal and professional blogging in a single new site about housing and homelessness. Martha still posts at Demi-Semi Blog, and can occasionally be spotted at alt.books.george-orwell.
• Graeme Burk continues to work as a writer and communications professional in the non-profit sector in Toronto, and has been working at getting some screenplays produced. He recently contributed to a couple of reference books on Doctor Who, and is getting married in 2008. Rumours abound that he might get his weekly web column relaunched later this year.
• Bobby Farouk has been writing fiction at MRBFK for a couple of years now. It's pretty good, so you should check it out.
• Ben Brumfield has been working on a software project for collaborative manuscript transcription, and has been pitching in on his wife's project, Dressr.
