I’d love to say that I have tons of time to write and maintain this blog right now, but it’s far from the truth. So, much to my personal chagrin, I’m going to put Steady State Revolution on Hiatus for the time being. I’ll be back once things calm down a bit in my personal and [...]

Occasionally I have to fly for my day job.
