ShareI wrote the following post nearly a month ago. Looking at it today, I realize that this incident played a big role in my disappearance over the past few weeks. I’ve been hiding out, pondering the question:  “What the hell am I doing?” Which is strange. I usually run off and hide *after* I click [...]

I want to change the world. You?

September 30, 2010

ShareI’ve been working on a blog post for 3 days now. This is not it. Instead, I present my somewhat aspirational answers to Naomi Dunford’s invitation to play with her. What’s your game?
