The Vault

This archived content is from multiple blogs across multiple domains, all created, loved, and eventually abandoned by me. No, I’m not proud of that, but life goes on, and perspectives change. Perhaps something in the archives will be of value to someone, and so they shall remain in perpetuity. Posts which have been updated for content or style will be moved to a more appropriate category — this is the plan for all posts across the site.
