From June 2008 in direct response to activities in the office I posted this. There’s a popular power phrase that goes something like, “Do it and apologize later.” I take issue with it: it makes your apologies meaningless, and says you don’t stand up for what you believe.

a children’s fable, with words from Lawrence Lessig
Sadly, my old blog will be going away. As the university transitions from MovableType to WordPress, everything gets dismantled. The files won’t even function as web pages. What to do? Let go, I guess. There are a few posts there that I enjoyed, though. So over the next few weeks, I’ll try to move some …

character, again
This is becoming a pretty big failure. I like this character a little more, but over all, I’m not liking the project. Maybe it’s the weather. I’ll shelve it for a while. Frustrating as hell. Late edit. I’m done. At least she’s smiling.
trial spreads
I’ve been plotting this out and knocking around the beginning for a few weeks. I really need a sense of how it’s going to look when we got into the thing, so I worked up two spreads from the middle as a trial. Maybe I’ll work out in both directions? I’m not sure about any …
