As some of you noted, the site was down for a while for reasons too boring and too frustrating to explain. We lost a couple posts in the process, so I’ll be trying to restore those in the next few days. Stand by. DT
Been putting off writing this post since I knew it’d be painful, but… I can divide my time on Earth into two categories – days spent with Harlan Ellison and days spent without.
