Delay
Oops, apparently today’s post didn’t go up as scheduled and I’m only noticing now, 12 hours after it was supposed to show up. Not sure whether that was a mistake on my part or something with WordPress, but I’ve rescheduled…
The Observed Life
Today was a strange day. Today we lost something, we lost a great talent. And yes I know that he was a stranger to me and yes I know that there are people dying everywhere, but still. Good night, Mr…
EverEnding DevBlog 70: Hodgepodge
