Peaks & Troughs [#26]

I believe that inspiration comes in waves. I've believed this for quite a while, largely because I'll have periods of time where I can draw really well, or feel like writing every day, or take a […]

A Gap in Time [#25]

My last post was on the 8th. Today is the 20th. Do you see a little problem there? In short: 12 days are longer than a week. Sad […]

Mister Vimes'd Go Spare & Assorted Odds 'n' Ends [#23]

Well, back from trip number two, which was a little more relaxing (though a lot more tiring... I do not understand how bodies work). As a result, I've actually been reading a bunch of stuff, […]

Welcome Home [#22]

I enjoyed reading this article, written by Ethan Marcotte. It makes some interesting points, aligns with my own cognitive bubble and provides some deeper insight into areas of stuff that I […]

Duping the Genie [#16]

You find yourself in a magical cave, holding an old oil lamp, spilling out of which is a magical Genie. You know the drill: you have three wishes and you cannot request […]
