Tech Blogging
We got some huge contracts at work that probably will keep me busy for the next few months. I’ll still be blogging here but don’t really have the time to dedicate to thinking through philosophy.

Misc Tech News
OK, just for your interest a few things too long to put on the sideblog. Not the normal philosophy stuff. But pretty interesting.
