If you have been here before, thank you for returning - the poppy seeds lured you back in I hope. It turns out I've been pissing off everyone who comes to my site with my huge images that don't load properly and steal data. For...
Every few months I pull out a Koan card. This card is something I keep in mind for the coming months and it's always the perfect advice for me. A few months ago, when I was finishing writing my book ("Polska" is now available for pre-order), the...
