The end?

To my many fans:

This blog was initially a university course exercise "to convey the unique feeling of having other people comment on your thoughts and opinions..." as put by our lecturer.

I must say that the first few posts were mainly driven by the course assignment, as the blog's popularity over the web grew, however, it became a part of my life - just like it became a part of your life, fans. I dare say it changed my life at least to the extent it changed most of your lives. It has been quite a journey for all of us since the first "Hello world", through the frustrated "I said, hello world!" until here and we all grew and learned something about ourselves. I learned of the almost infinite world of the web and it's inhabitants which in turn learned of me.

If this sounds like closing tones to you, I must admit you know me quite well by now (not that I'm surprised). OK, I'll just say it... I have been offered a weekly column in a major NYC newspaper and am currently considering my posting future. Sorry to drop the big news like this, but there is no easy way to say it: Simple Not Simplistic may have reached its final step.

Of-course, nothing is finalized and I have my lawyers working in shifts with the tough negotiations regarding the benefits, TV interviews and t-shirts. And the newspaper business has seen better days. And I'm pretty sure my wife will veto the whole thing. But there is a chance, so this is the heads-up for you fans.

Now like Lisa Simpson, the effort of writing has left me lightheaded, so i close by saying: Google is bugging me regarding the space used-up by your comments, so please keep it simple. Not simplistic.
