After I finish writing anything I reread it before I post it to see if, well, if it makes sense. Sometimes I go back and rewrite something for clarity or whatever. Sometimes I realize I come off in a different way than I intended. This post talks a lot about internet fame and the like. … Continue reading Across the Third Dimension
Unless you intentionally resist it, you can't help but learn things. This happens by accident and it happens by DOING. You learn to walk in heels BY walking in heels.
