Like many of you I love all things motorized. So in addition to my passion for automobiles I latched onto to the planelopnik theme and tried creating my own genre in the Jaloposphere.

A few years back when Oppositelock was still an official Jalopnik subblog, I began to use my privileges as author to write about airplanes. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! caught the attention of the Jalopbros and were added to the Jalopnik.com website. Thus was spawned !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! during the rise of the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! revolution.

My measly subblog began to rival Jalopnik’s own experiment into aviation coverage. The great Hardibird was inspired and approached me with an offer to pay a small sum to create content for Flight Club. I graciously obliged and hence forth began my tenure with Jelopnic.

Of all my work on Flight Club I think I’m most proud of my coverage concerning a Brazilian Airliner approaching a tiny landing strip.

My interest in two wheeled motoring also resulted in a few contributions to Lane Splitter.

And I was most honored that Rogoway would allow me to publish a few words on his website Foxtrot Alpha. RIP Tyler.

While the Jalopnik subblog craze has all but fizzled, I still find myself contributing around the interwebs including a few good blogs over at !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Thanks Oppos for reading my stuff and giving me something to do on my lunch break.

You did/do good stuff. It was a great era for Planelopnik. A few folks like tttyyyymmm have been trying to keep it alive.
