So I’m staring at the calendar and at my to-do list and counting down the days until classes start. Lately I’ve been in a high stress place, a perpetual “fight or flight” mindset brought on by desperately wanting to get a bunch of my old side projects finished up and out the door so I […]

A big thanks to all of you who have stopped by today to watch the development go down here in real time. In the last day-and-a-half I’ve added sIFR titles to each post (these pages now only use two graphics plus the Flickr photoblog, no kidding), moved the sidebars around, brought back the archives, polished […]

OK, my gentle readers, I’m most of the way to where I want to be with these upgrades, but I’m not all the way there yet. The concept here is that I’m using Tip of the Quill as a guinea pig for the expansions before I roll them out to Ken’s weblog, the 3+ new […]
