Now, I know I'm not the best at keeping updated here even at the best of times, but for the next 6 months you all might see even less of me. Because I'm going to be working in Alaska! On boats! At sea! It will be awesome and wonderfully isolated, and hopefully might even help inspire me to get out of my recent writing rut (say that a few times fast). So don't worry-- I will not have disappeared completely, and I will try to catch up with all my watched devs when I get home. In the meantime, bon voyage (to me at least!), and here's a melancholy but fitting quote from Mahmoud Darwish:

"The sea is walking in the streets. The sea is dangling from windows and the branches of shriveled trees. The sea drops from the sky and comes into the room. Blue, white, foam, waves. I don't like the sea. I don't want the sea, because I don't see a shore, or a dove. I see in the sea nothing except the sea."
