I stopped posting examples of my Conspiracy! cards recently. Not because I ran out of cards, but because I ran dry of inspiration to describe them. What began as a simple exercise in sharing my design work had evolved into a daily writing exercise … which was great while it was … Continue reading
My words and thoughts have been for myself, of late. And also for those close to me, both in space and mind. But they have not been transmitted via this interface.
I’m feeling more wordly lately. I am hoping to re-commence contributing to this eclectic assemblage of prose. Soon. Perhaps, … Continue reading
It’s been a few days since my last post. It hasn’t been an intentional hiatus; merely the byproduct of a busy period. Work busy, home busy. Tiredness. Distraction.
As you can already tell, the hiatus has ended. We now continue our regular transmissions.
Looking for clogs in the pipes. My posts are not going through to Facebook. How annoying.

Glyphstone is at 21 posts and counting, so I thought it would be appropriate for a brief State of the Blog address. And, by brief, I mean six sentences.
First, I’m quite happy with the look and feel this time around. I’m working on a logo for the top of the … Continue reading
