Portal Update: April '08. I'm in the middle of writing my book at the moment. All essays are pretty out-dated now. I deleted a few that I didn't like. Writings Hosted essaysBook Summaries Zines Tribeless A zine which I started because I felt too limited by writing in essays and structured blog posts. The zines are written in OpenOffice and exported into .pdf's to keep the fonts and formatting. They're usually around 150-200k in size. For those who don't like .pdf's, I'll add HTML versions soon after each release.
