A Very Meta New Year
This is not a daily blog. Your time is valuable, and I’ll not waste it by filling up empty posts with pointless material. Posts arrive when something you might find interesting crosses my path or my synapses. Generally, I try to post a few times per week, but as...
Making Meme Magic Real
My twit feed automagically deletes posts after a month or so. That means a lot of my best meme work vanishes out into the cloud beyond my reach. Here’s a year end post for archiving the stuff I can’t be bothered to sort and save to a hard drive. ...

Pulp Modern: Tech Noir
