I don’t feel like I have time either to blog or to brainstorm about projects, so instead I’m going to do both at the same time and hope that that will take less time than doing either one individually.

nothing is everything new
Well… um… Hi. Tonight’s a little weird for me: there’s nothing I need to write about. I’ve been using this blog to help give myself clarity and accountability in working out some of the more difficult parts of my life. I’ve basically been writing about whatever has been bothering me at the [...]
