So grateful to everyone who takes a few minutes from their day to read these. Speaking of gratitude… Enjoy! Choose…

    It’s the twenty-ninth today and I’m starting to run out of ideas. Then as I was drawing the image in the previous post, I decided to do a poem set in the Warhammer 40k universe. I understand completely if most don’t care for it, it’s a bit more “niche” than most of what I write.…

    I have spent the past few days dealing with an especially difficult individual. And by difficult, I mean stupid and spectacularly irritating.

    I was thinking about how as a species we have gone from having too little access to information, to having a surfeit of it. Along the way, precious little has been done to teach us how to critically assess everything we consume now. This poem is about that. Enjoy! A Brief History of Information Overload…
