Over 2,000 years ago, something happened. Something bigger than global, bigger than Earth. Whatever it was caused fourteen known calendars at the time to re-adjust their count of days in a year. It seems to have happened in 701 BC and everyone is making religion out of it. What’s the science?

There’s a lot of strange and/or scholarly advice about how to start writing your own stories. What I tell you might fall under the category of strange, but after seriously thinking about some TV shows I’ve been catching up on and remembering one, little detail a film student told me years ago, I’ve suddenly had a surge of inspiration including the very method of, how to write a story.

Artist Aaron Hobson has virtually traveled all around the world and found some incredible and breath taking locations. Where timing and funding is usually everything, in this case, it isn’t. Hobson has found all these vistas online in Google Streetview.
